 MIte repellantJan 29, 2010
Okay-this is not the everyday average review. I have been pestered by what I think are bird mites. I came across this product during my research. I have to say that this works like a charm. I place this item at my feet to keep them away during the day and at night in my bed I can actually feel them leave my body and run away. Crazy I know but anyone in my situation would want to know too.
Biggest concern: whatever this is made of does make me feel oogy or rather light headed the next day after prolonged use - like I inhaled glue all night. I will need more research into the 'secondary' chemical. But for the most part, it gives me enough relief so I can sleep. Biggest problem, refills are so expensive and hard to get. Buy them while you can.

 Helpful, but not perfectMay 04, 2009
I'm on my second Bite Shield now...I had to return the first one because the fan didn't work while the unit was upright and who wants to carry a plastic box around all day long because you can't put it on your belt loop?! Anyhow, this second unit is "okay", but I really don't think it's as useful as the product description suggests. I admit I was only bitten once or twice while wearing this unit, but I was hoping that my skin would be off the "all-u-can-eat mosquito buffet" in my back yard. I found the smell to be pleasant and very similar to the scent of citronella candles. The fan on my second unit is much better, but it still kicks off on occasion so you really have to keep an eye on it. I guess my biggest "beef" with this product is the fan...I don't understand why its operation is so flaky. Poor product design, I suppose. Anyhow, I gave it 3 stars because it did seem to discourage the mosquito full feeding frenzy, but you take your chances on getting a unit with a reliable fan!

 Twice bitten by the Bite ShieldSep 18, 2008
The first Bite Shield I received was faulty. First the fan wouldn't work then, after being turned on for some hours, it began rotating accompanied by a loud bumping sound. One presumes it was the fan bumping against the body of the Bite Shield. I contacted the manufacturer who said that I would have to contact Amazon, that they couldn't help me.
I did this. And Amazon could not have been more helpful, asking me to return the product and they would send a replacement.
The replacement Bite Shield is also faulty, however: the fan making the same bumping sound as the first unit.
I have just called the manufacturer, again, who said that I should call Amazon. When I said that I intended to write a review of the product, I was told "we don't care".
Amazon 5 stars; Bite Shield a minus 5, if that is an option...

neither original nor replacement workedJul 31, 2008
The 1st one I ordered didn't work at all. Ordered a replacement which initially didn't work either. But then after holding the batteries in tighter by hand, the fan moved very slowly and only sporadically. Maybe the next one would have worked fine, but I've lost faith in the product's construction so I'll look for something else.

Did not work (Amazon does not allow 0 stars)Jul 24, 2008
The cartridge does not last 120hrs per the claim. I'm not sure whether this product's ineffectiveness was due to the short-live scent or whether the mosquitoes were not affected by it in the first place. All I do know is that I was bothered and bitten every time I used it for the 10-12 days I used it.
