Bug Bam! Insect Repelling Wristbands

Instead of sprays, creams and lotions, you can now just wear a wristband to keep the mosquitoes and other bugs away. The Bug Bam! Insect Repelling Wristband contains 100% natural repellent scientifically proven to work.

Using ingredients such as citronella, geranium and lemograss, each wristband protects an adult or child up to 100 hours. It’s perfect for camping and hiking trips, or anytime you are traveling where insects are present.

I think it’s a great idea for kids and anyone who is sensitive to the chemicals and fragrances in normal insect repellents. You can the Bug Bam! wristbands at Wal-Mart, BJ’s or online at bugbam.com, where you can read more about how it works. Each wristband is just $3.99.

Bug Bam! offers these tips for avoiding mosquitoes while traveling:

• Ask your doctor about any shots or inoculations you may require for international travel
• Avoid using fragrant hair spray and cologne, shower regularly
• Particularly avoid exposure when mosquitoes are most active, at dusk and dawn
• Wear light-colored, loose clothing that covers legs and arms at dawn and dusk
• Avoid standing water where mosquitoes lay eggs, such as flower pots, bird baths, ponds, neglected pools and hot tubs, open boats and wheelbarrows
• Choose accommodation equipped with window and door fly screens
• Report dead birds to local authorities. Mosquitoes carry the virus from birds to humans
