Makers Of Mosi-Guard Say It Offers True Choice
To Synthetic Repellents & Advantages Over DEET


Aussieguard Natural Products, the makers of Mosi-guard, say the results of new research are further proof that it is equal to insect repellent containing 50 per cent DEET. They add that using Mosi-guard has important advantages over DEET-based products.

The study*, completed at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, confirms that Mosi-guard gives total protection from biting mosquitoes for over 10 hours.

Chris Curtis, Professor of Medical Entomology at the School, who conducted the research with a team from Mahidol University in Bangkok. said: " Mosi-guard, derived from lemon eucalyptus gave more than 10 hours protection . Such a long period of repellency should make it very reliable for protection from malaria and nuisance mosquitoes for as long as a person would require it in any practical situation before going to bed under a net."

Dr Paul Clarke, director of MASTA (UK), which developed Mosi-guard in collaboration with the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said: " Mosi-guard has a pleasant lemon smell and no adverse effects on plastic, varnishes or clothes. DEET is a strong solvent chemical  which can damage the plastic finish on cameras, sunglasses and other valuable equipment, as well as staining clothes. "

He added: " Tests show little Mosi-guard is absorbed through the skin while up to 77 per cent of an applied dose of DEET to the palm is absorbed over 24 hours."

" After the Gulf War the American Institute of Medicine commented that 'studies are needed to resolve uncertainties about whether DEET and (the insecticide) permethrin have additive effects'. The concern being that DEET may enhance the absorption of other toxic substances across the skin."

" * The studies have yet to be done. Until they are it is probably wise to advise consumers not to handle any potentially toxic substances while using DEET."

Dr Clarke concluded: " This authoritative new study confirming that Mosi-guard is as strong as DEET in repelling insects means that, with its benign toxicological profile, pleasant smell and no solvent action, consumers can be offered Mosi-guard as a true choice between a naturally derived and a synthetic chemical insect repellent."

•  Mosi-guard contains a refined blend of lemon eucalyptus oils  which maximises the insect repellent effect of lemon eucalyptus. It is much more effective than all other previous citronella-based repellents (which only provided short acting protection and had high rates of skin reactions). Mosi-guard is produced from renewable sources. It has been clinically proven in extensive testing to be the most effective natural insect repellent on the market. Mosi-guard is " safe for kids ". It is recommended for use on the whole family, including children aged 12 months and older.
