You know
how I know when Spring has come around (minus the weather)?!? I know because
the hungry little blood suckers come out to play.. I don’t know why these
creatures were invented, except to transmit diseases and make you extremely
itchy. Nothing worse then lying in bed hearing that high pitched ‘buzz’ buzz by your head. Only
to turn the light on and not be able to see it, so you sit there for a little
while with your arm out as bait and sure enough the little black dot flies by.
The
mosquitos is one thing I am not looking forward to in QLD. Someone told me if I think the mozzies
are bad down here in Melbourne I am in trouble when I arrive to the shores of
Queensland… Is this true? They absolutely
eat my girls and myself alive!! My partner Matt on the other hand does not get
one single bite, and he can walk straight through a swarm (good to know the
girls inherited something from me.)

As a natural and safe
alternative to other products on the market, Para’Kito is ideal for adults,
children, babies, pregnant women and allergy sufferers alike, as it has no
direct contact with the skin, leaves no unpleasant odour and offers 24 hour
protection from mosquitoes and insects.
A unique blend of seven
essential oils including; lavender, geranium, citronella, pine tree, patchouli,
clove and peppermint is infused into the heart of a polymer pellet, which slips
easily into your Para’Kito wristband or clip.
These patented oils
mask the presence of humans from mosquitos for 15 days effectively making the
wearer invisible, even when coming in contact with water, eliminating the need
for reapplying sticky chemical sprays.
The Para’Kito clip is
perfect for travel (it easily attaches to a back pack, belt, or can be hung
inside a tent when sleeping) as well as for babies –
just hang it from their pram or stroller, while the neoprene wristband offers
comfort and style with a range of fun colours available.

all Australian pastimes, whether you’re camping in the Northern Territory,
fishing off the coast of Western Australia, or simply enjoying a BBQ in
Brisbane; with Para’KitoTM you’ll never be left unprotected again!
Well these
will be my knight in shining armor when we hit the shores on QLD and I know
this because I tested them out the other night on our hot Spring night at the
park. I had the keyring attached to the pram and the girls and I were all
wearing the wristbands. I was a little skeptical about these and not to sure
they would work as I have tried something similar and may as well have saved my
twenty bucks.
There is
no strong odour at all, and one of the things I love is that when you put like Aeroguard on you
taste it and feel absolutely horrible, this does not make it anywhere near your
mouth so there isn’t a horrible taste. I love these and will be buying some
re-fills and making sure they come with us whenever we go out now even in the
colder nights, it just isn’t worth the risk.
