I can't make out the pic , but I've seen the product before . It's a wristband saturated with citronella oil and other ingredients . It would work about as well as a citronella candle and stink just as much .

but what is the "Pleasant Order" will it attract a deer while in the stand? I doubt it. If just lloking to keep the bugs away while NOT hunting??? I'd try it.
I don't know what the natural ingredient is, I do know that a Tomato plant has a natural ingredient in it that will keep bugs away, It works well, but would not use tomato leaves to rub on my skin or clothes durring deer season.

Although , if those wristbands actually work , even with a smell , I may try to hang a few in the woods for awhile so the deer get used to the smell. I'll try anything now , the mosquitos are terrible this year with all the rain we've gotten.

Bounce sheets.
That stuff you put in the dryer to soften your cloths.
My sister sent me this thing on different uses for household products,and it said bounce was good for gnats,mosquites,bees and greenheads.
I work on an island thats 4 blocks wide so I'm either on the ocean or the bay.
The gnats were bad a week ago so I took a sheet of bounce and put it in my pocket(no rubbing it on you,just put it in your pocket)and I'll be DAMNED if it dident work.At first I thought the gnats just went away,but then I noticed the other guys were getting torn up.
I now carry a box in my truck at all times

I tried the bounce sheets when shooting at our outdoor 3d range. Guys were wearing them under their caps and letting them hang down on the back of their neck to keep the deer flies off. It kept the deer flies away from my head , but I still ended up a mosquito smorgasboard.
