Anti - Mosquito Gadget?

Anybody seen one? I've seen lotions and potions but would rather kids had the electronic type!
I've heard of a clicking ladybird that clips to the pushchair, can't find that though!

Heard that the "oh so soft" (think thats what it's called)body oil from Avon works really well, people who travel to Kenya swear by it.
Best thing are Nets over the pushchair and beds. And to take Anti- Malaria tablets if going to a infected area. And Marmite does NOT work nor the tonic in your Gin Sorry!!!. One comment about Mosquito's is that they are attracted to the dead skin on your body so if you use a body brush/mitts with soap with no perfume, in the bath/shower each day this can help. Also wear long sleeves morning and at dusk.

I haven't checked the link, but, having lived in Thailand for four years and trying virtually every electronic device known to man.......................then having a dd tested for dengue fever. I can catagorically say, IME, they don't work. DEET all the way for us.
