For the one mozzies always find first.
Heading away but you're a mozzie magnet?
It's not bad luck — it's biology. Your blood type, your CO₂, the lactic acid in your sweat. Mozzies target you from 50 metres out, and when you're travelling to the tropics, some of those mozzies carry diseases, like Dengue.
Over 2,500 Aussies Get Dengue Every Year
Bali. Fiji. Thailand. Far North QLD. The Aedes aegypti mosquito that carries dengue is active around the clock — peaks at sunrise and sunset, bites indoors at night under any light. Symptoms: high fever, severe headache, joint pain so brutal it's nicknamed 'breakbone fever.' Severe dengue can be fatal. No antiviral exists. Once you're infected, you wait it out.

Two magnet kids, no answers
Jeannie's two boys — Oscar and his brother — were the mozzie & midge MAGNETS. Oscar would come back from playing outside covered & scratching himself raw. Nothing on the shelf worked. So she started making her own, in a caravan in Darwin.

2014
Formula 37
After 2 years & 36 failures. Formula 37 finally matched DEET on mosquitoes in Darwin's Mangroves. Her boys could go outside without being eaten. Jeannie started selling at Mindil Markets in Darwin.

Built For All Conditions
Proven Against Dengue
Dengue is carried by mosquitoes in tropical destinations like Bali, Fiji and Thailand. Good Riddance repels them — clinically tested to the same federal standard as DEET.
Made by a Mum
Made by a Darwin chemist for her own mozzie magnet kids. Tested on Darwin fishermen until it worked. Now proven as effective as DEET. Still made & owned by an Aussie family business.
In case you forget repellent...
One bite always gets through before you apply. In the tropics, it becomes an itchy welt that can ruin your peace. Rescue Balm cools the itch, settles the swelling, soothes the skin. The daily essential for holidays.
Find your Favourite
The best repellent is the one you'll actually wear. Try both to find your winner. Tropical smells like Citrus. Sensitive is delicious, like Lavender and Sweet Vanilla.

The Comparison
Us vs DEET vs Naturals
Stronger DEET hasn't fixed it. Wristbands haven't fixed it. The natural one your sister-in-law swears by hasn't fixed it. Here's why this is different.
Read From The Magnets Who Stopped Getting Bitten
I have not had one bite
I have tried every single thing on the market with no success. I have not had one bite since I started using it. Everybody comments on how nice I smell!
I was a blazing light to biting insects
I was like a blazing light beckoning any kind of biting insect to land on my skin. When no-one else was getting bitten I would already be covered in large red, itchy spots. I no longer get concerned about being outside. I will never use aerosol or DEET repellents again.
1 bite vs 60
My 12 year old son gets attacked with mozzies every time we holiday. We are in the Whitsundays at the moment and he has had 1 bite, compared to about 60 bites when we were in Qld back in April 2025.
Reviews are from verified Good Riddance customers.
