Mosquito Abatement
When traveling to tropical areas, assume you will encounter mosquitoes, and assume they will carry malaria. Items such as mosquito netting, DEET and Permethrin repellents can be life savers!

It works!
By Edie T., AZ in December, 2010
• We used it in the Caribbean where I usually return with bites and welts from mosquitos. It works very well...the only thing that could make it better is if it had some kind of alarm or reminder so I could remember to use it before the first bite!

• Since we live in the woods, and we love to walk in these woods, we always use this repellent. I am very allergic to any insect bite.

• Although it is early into the warmer months, it seems to be a very good product.

Will never use another repellent
By Lori N., MI in March, 2010
• I am a mosquito magnet -- at home, I am constantly applying other types of repellents & still ending up with bites. In August of 2009 I spent 16 days in Kenya and Uganda and used this product -- I did not receive a single bite! It is now my go-to repellent for everyday use at home. I love this product.

Will not go to Puerto Vallarta with out it

• This is the finest product for bug repellent made. It is non greasy, does not stink and is the best repellent for sand fleas, and bed bugs.

PLEASE Magellans don't ever run out of UltraThon.

AWESOME!

• I am usually prone to insect bites.... Ultrathon kept me bite free during monsoon season in Cambodia! Thanks Magellan for another great product! I would highly recommend this product!

• Used this product for two weeks on a vacation to Tanzania, where malaria mosquitoes are plentiful. My husband and I did not get one misquito, tick or any other kind of bite. Will use it again when hiking in the woods in northern Michigan. For your info, NO REPELLENTS can protect you against tse-tse flies (which they did).

This was great !!!

• My husband and I used this product while on vacation in Jamaica. I am usually a mosquito magnet, however; even when we hiked through heavy forest and waterfall areas it worked like a charm. It also repelled sand fleas on the beach. We plan to use this on other trips this summer to mosquito-prone areas (New Orleans for example) !

UltraThon is the best
By Janet C., CA in May, 2009
•   Ultrathon was recommended by our travel doc. We took it with us to Congo. We recommended it to friends traveling with us, but they were experienced campers and scout leaders so already had their own deet products. By the second day we were there, we were bite-free and others were getting eaten up in malaria country. Fortunately the small tubes go a long way so we were able to share an extra tube. They became UltraThon believers.

•   Went to Kampala, Uganda for 10 days and knew I had to have good protection b/c mosquitos love me. I didn't get ONE single bite. Others in our group used Cutter and DeepWoods Off and got bit up plenty. I applied in the morning and also towards the evening. However, one evening I forgot and there were lots of biters out and I was fine. This stuff is amazing!

•   We live in South Florida, where the mosquitoes are a problem nearly year-round. We never go out to do yard work without first putting on the Ultrathon. it doesn't sweat off, and one application lasts all day. I'm ordering 4 more tubes, this visit.

•   We used this in the Philippines. When everyone else was constantly batting off mosquitoes, we were calm and comfortable even in the worst parts of the countryside and during rainy season. I spent a month there without a bite.

•   This product actually repels mosquitos.

•   Ultra Thon was recommended by a friend and I purchased it for a trip to Africa. With the use of this product I had NO issues with insects. It does not have the heavy scent associated with other repellants. I now recommend this product to my friends.
