SuperBand Insect Repelling Wristband

-

This one is a springy band you put on an arm or an ankle. It is supposed to last up to 200 hours after you open it. Main ingredient­s: Geraniol, lemongrass and citronella oil. Price and store: $0.97 for two, H-E-B.

Scent: A strong citronella smell follows wherever you go. Feel: It’s like wearing a bracelet, but a little itchier. Fruit test: The ants and flies were heavily attracted to it. Body test: It seemed to be working until I got bit in the neck while taking a photo of it. Results: The price was right and it was the easiest to use, but it didn’t work.
