I recently bought one. When I take my dog for a walk, I clip it on the neck of my shirt or on the pocket of my pants. I walk him to his favorite place in a field full of bugs, mosquitoes, and tall grasses. But he loves it and won’t do his doo doo business anywhere else! Also when I weed outside, I use it and the most I got bitten just once! Compared to 10 bites. Hell, that’s good.
(Did a test and used the DEET spray repellent one day cause I was scared my feet would get bit. I sprayed loads of it and I got bit at least 6 times anyways.)
So I found it to work GREAT! At least it seemed to work. Didn’t get bit once the 7 times I’ve walked him so far using this clip. To test, once I saw a mosquito in sight and I took the Clip On and directed it towards it. It flew away instantly.
But… I’m a bit confused. I smoke cigarettes. (Please, no smoking opinions or comments :-/ Thanks.) When I put my cigarette next to it, the fan seemed to suck the smoke in. It was weird. Maybe there’s more to it and it’s not actually sucking the smoke in. Cause I thought it was supposed to be a fan. Blowing the repellent out?
And it also has no odor! HUGE PLUS! They did a story on the local news this week about mosquitoes and repellents. I never knew this but they said DEET (the main ingredient in mosquito repellents) does not actually repel mosquitoes, it just confuses them somehow. They will still come around you but they are not supposed to bite. With the Off Clip On they seemed to avoid me. No buzzing in my ears all the time bull s***!
For those that have tried the "Off! Clip On"
What do you think of it? Did it work for you?

This video details the costs and the effectiveness period I experienced with Feline, Equine, Canine and Human tags. None lasted longer then 5 weeks despite their claim to last 4 months. The 5 week period extended from June 11, 2009 to around July 18th. I shall post details on my blog at in2books.blogspot.com UPDATE I AMENDED the other 4 videos to state: This video is #1 of 5 total. #5 is the “Effectiveness & Cost Analysis” conclusion. The glory of the equine tag was short lived & lasted NO MORE then 5 weeks total. Not just with my horse, but 9 others of friends. I had equine, feline, canine and human tags, which all proved to be ineffective. Sorry, but honest reporting is only fair.
