  • Best thing since fly spray!

    I keep mine near the front door, even though it has a screen on it, when opened and closed (or forgotten to close it) this nifty gadget just set and forget. It zaps the flies before they have a chance to come in. I can even leave the screen door open and it works a treat!

  • I admit to being surprised by this.

    I’ll be honest. I really wanted to be blown away by this, but I didn’t really expect to. I figured I’d buy it, and be annoyed that I wasted $30. But truly, my house backs onto a mangrove swamp, (yuck!), and the mosquitoes in summer are the WORST! They attack in swarms, and will literally drive you out of a room when they gang up on you. The poor baby cops it the worst. So I decided to give it a go, and I am so glad I did! For the last month, we have had minimal mosquitoes in the house! MAYBE four or five a day, which is REALLY saying something, when you consider that it wouldn’t have been unusual to have twenty or more in the space of an hour!

    I genuinely cannot recommend this product enough! It even smells nice!

  • Flys where are you?

    Unfortunately my house has limited fly screens, and in the QLD humidity I always try to have enough breeze to keep us cool. With that comes unwanted insects, flies being my major issue. After trying this product I’ve seen a massive decrease in the amount of flies coming inside. I’d spent a crazy amount of money on fly spray, and this works out to be much more effective.

  • brilliant product

    we bought one of these because we have a midgie issue (we live near mangroves)
    its kept above the back door so that if the kids leave it open we dont have to worry as much that the midgies will come in… its set at 9 minute intervals and works a treat… i havent had a midgie bite for weeks!

  • Insect free

    After reading and hearing rave reviews about Mortein Naturgaurd we decided to purchase it last week and hubby and I are very impressed .
    Having young children running in and out of back yard and leaving security door open, we always used to have insects flying into the house. Since using this Naturgaurd, we no longer face this problem and I no longer need to scream to close fly/security door close.
    We have had the odd fly come in but before long it either fits out or dies.
    I highly recommend this and am very impressed that it really does what it says.

  • Fly free

    Even with the kids running in and out, leaving the doors open I have noticed a dramatic decrease in flies in my house. The flu season hit early with high temperatures and I was leaving each day spraying the house and coming home and doing the same. Since setting up this indoor protection all I can say is thank you!

  • More User Friendly than other models.

    We have used previous editions of Mortein and other automatic pest control devices and this unit has by far been more user friendly. The options you can select depending on which insects you are wanting to target make it easy and more sense than 12 – 24 hour options. We have placed it in our main lounge as we often get rouge cockroaches that venture from our garage and we haven’t seen one since. Thanks for a great product that actually works.

  • Got rid of those peski flies

    I had a serious fly issue on my back decking and everything I tried didn’t work it was actually attracting them more and more. I tried using natural products for my animals sakes and someone ended up putting me onto this product which has worked wonders no more flies the animals and humans are very happy.

  • Flies auto gone

    I have to say I didn’t like the idea of this as it was automatically spraying Mortein around and I was concerned it would affect us, our pets as much as the flies. The dog and cat are not affected at all. Flies are gone (. see what happens in warmer weather) and it doesn’t affect us.

  • So simple why did I not try earlier!

    This is such a simple idea yet works amazingly. The tropical life is great but we get waves of insects after a rain or change of weather. These did not smell bad or cause coughing like most sprays. I hate having sprays and we can not use many as my son will be sneezing all night and their not good for the fish in the tank but this works a treat and the kids have been bite free for weeks. The smell actually helps my sons sneezing lessen which is great he gets to wake with a clear head.

  • Bye bye bugs

    Unfortunately I was not chosen to review this product, but I decided to go ahead and purchase it anyway to give it a go. We have a problem with ants and flies/mozzies in summer so was really looking for an all out solution to be rid of these pests for good. I am really a fan of this new system. It works very well. it is easy to use, smells ok and is fast working.

  • Love this stuff

    I swear by this product. Living in a rural area, I find that Mortein naturgard is not only sprays automatically, but with no odour this is safe around kids, pets and everyone else. I recommend this to anyone

  • Effective Pest Control

    I found assembly of the unit very easy and it start working killing pests straight away. We mounted our unit at height on the wall and it was effective at killing flies, mosquitoes and even cockroaches although it did not seem to worry our spiders. Only issue is it was hard to notice when the aerosol needs replacing and the clip cover is a little flimsy. It also seems safe and doesn’t disturb our pets and children

  • Flies begone!

    Have used it and I find it works, however, it is a little expensive for me – but what the heck, I’d rather be fly free than eat a box of chocolates, I must admit I did not notice any perfume emanating from the dispenser, but just as long as it keeps away the flies, who cares

  • Great guard

    Moreton nature guard for indoor use is a great guard to protect the whole family especially little ones, the eucalyptus is a really great smell to mask the normal horrible smell these insect repellents normally have. The price is pretty good but like everything at the moment it is a bit deer but I guess safer than a citronella candle .

  • Very Pleased

    We were very happy with the Mortein Nuturgard Auto Protect Insect controller. We have small kids and they are constantly leaving doors open. In summer we get bombarded with flies, and I hate flies. The Insect controller is great at keeping their levels under control and leaves me a little less stressed. I love the fact I don’t have to be constantly spraying FLyspray around the kids.

  • Recomended

    We do not have security screens at home so we normally have the doors open and get bugs but mainly flies. I notice when we have the Naturgard on we get minimal to no flies but when we don’t there are swarms of them hanging around. We don’t notice it when it is on as it is so quiet

  • I didn't like this product

    I was trying to find a product I could use indoors to help with insect protection. Unfortunately I did not like this one at all. I found the smell actually a bit too strong as we live in an apartment. I wouldn’t recommend it to others at this stage but I haven’t tried any others, perhaps I’ll like this one more when I have a point of reference to compare it to.

  • It works!

    I must admit, I was skeptical before trying this!
    After working up the courage to fork out over $30 for it, I was pleasantly surprised!
    My partner has a bad habit of leaving doors open, and we would be swarmed with flies, even more so when preparing food. I hated having flies inside, Especially with a newborn Bub.
    Since purchased the Mortein Naturgard Auto system, we haven’t seen one fly inside!!
    Well worth the money!

  • Easy and effective to use

    I struggle with mosquito bits and they zero in on the kids and I found that since using this indoors the bites have really decreased which is great. It doesn’t completely eliminate insects but goes along way to controlling the levels and it means I am also then free to do other things and not run around with spray cans and fly squatters.

  • Kept my house protected.

    I was always scared to use chemicals so before this product I used nothing.
    I noticed no mosquitos or flys while using this product. I have no fly screens or screen doors and because I’m pregnant I wouldn’t use any strong chemicals.
    This product definetly helps the insects stay put and made my house smell nice which is a bonus. It’s good that it isnt a gimic.

  • It is now an essential in our household

    I unfortunately do not have fly screens on my doors however love to have the door open for the sunshine and breeze to flow in! I was in the market for this exact product when a friend showed me this in a catalogue. I purchased it straight away and now LOVE it! It creates a barrier between the outdoors and us inside! And I can now feel comfortable inside my own home!

  • Over priced yet effective

    I purchased the Mortein Naturgard as we get a lot of mozzies in our house. Although it got the job done, I felt that the canister had ran out quiet quickly and that the price to replace it was very expensive compared to just sing fly spray.

Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!

But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier). 

You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!

Pack Smart, Not Big

Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?

Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and

  • A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
  • A dry bag for clothes
  • A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
  • A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
  • A pop-up tent for changing
  • Waterproof phone case
  • Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
  • A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!

“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member

Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts

It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:

  • Swimming between the flags at the beach
  • Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
  • Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel. 

Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.

That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!

Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier

  • The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
  • Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
  • SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
  • Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
  • Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.

Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.

Prep & Time It Perfectly

There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.

“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member

Pack Smart Snacks

Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:

  • Chopped fruit
  • Crackers
  • Boiled eggs
  • Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight

“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member

A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!

You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!

New Banana Boat Sport SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml and Banana Boat Kids SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml (RRP $28.00) are available now at leading pharmacies, supermarkets and online retailers nationwide. 


Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
