Hi, I'm off to France in couple of weeks and was wondering if anyone has tried one of the flextail tiny repel mozzy repellant.
Also how long does shipping take from flextail as it looks like there from the states.

Just for anyone interested it took 7 working days for delivery and looks a solid piece of kit. Going france next week so hopefully it does the job.

They call it a repellant but it is poison as it kills insects.
I Would be careful inhaling it..
Do they say it is safe?

I don't use Google as I don't like sponsored news.. 🙂
But duck duck go says do not use in a confined space, if it has insecticide in it I personally don't want to be breathing that in.

Bumping an old thread..

Started to get bitten in the garden and flextail keep popping up on my FB feeds, they look ideal for the garden and obviously fishing.

Any one being using one of these, I see there's 3 in their range.
Or have come across an alternative brand??

I've got the light one they do(smallest option) no battery runs off a power pack, got 2 from Ali Express for less than the cost of one in the UK, also got the tabs from same place.
Bern using them for a couple of years and yes they work.

Do they patches only work for 4 hours? Or can you get longer lasting ones

To be honest on my light version I run it on the low setting(green light)in my bivvy/ under my brolly and usually leave it on from dusk to dawn so about 7 hours, not really had any issues with bugs, 1 pad each side.

I've just purchased one (evo repeller) directly £57, 2 packs of large mats & free P&P.
It took a week to arrive, and I tried it last night whilst under an open umbrella. I waited until I heard the first mozzie, 10 minutes later I never heard another mozzie. Had it running for 7 hours at which point it was daylight, and the battery indicator was on the last light so will need charging every use.

I'm off to France in September so will see how it works out over the course of the week
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
