"It actually keeps the Flys and mosquitoes away. Think I will order one for myself"

— Carla

"My dog has an issue with fleas. I do not want to use nasty chemicals with dangerous side effects, so I tried this. She tore it up pretty well, but there was enough to use. She still had fleas days after the bandana was put on. I saw no difference from before and after its use."

Bottom Line

Recommended for appearance but effectiveness varies. Consider other proven methods for insect control.
