RID Amazon DT Challenge: Day 4
Day 4 dawned blue. Mozzies love the colour blue, so we decided to really step up the challenge and give our adventurer a makeover. And, any fisherman knows you’re at the mozzie’s mercy whilst wetting a line. So we got blue and we got fishing for PIRANHAs…

I live in Bali. Can I buy RID, specifically Kids RID in Bali?
Posted 4 weeks ago
Mayor MabukAre we serious? I live 2 hrs from Australia but to buy an Aussie owned and made product I have to get it from 12,500km away in London! Can't believe your Marketing Director or Sales Manager have not come up with a better solution for providing your excellent product to the Asia-Pacific region, where it is needed most. Needless to say I am not going to pay international delivery costs (to a non Aussie coy) from the other side of the globe and then the local import tax and duties. Thanks.3 weeks ago
RID AustraliaHi Mayor Mabuk, thank-you for your enquiry. We have a retailer in the UK which you can order Kids RID online unfortunately no store in Bali that stocks RID products at the moment. Visit www.thesafaristore.co.uk/products/protect-yourself/from-biting-insects/rid-insect-repellent. The Safari Store will send the products to you.3 weeks ago
Bye bye 2014, we’ve had a great time this year sharing our stories and adventures with you. We look forward to more fun moments in 2015. Happy New Year everyone!

RID Amazon DT Challenge: Final Day
There was certainly no dip in intensity for our final day. The morning began with our Challenger experimenting with the Amazon’s local version of RID – termites.
After willingly smothering himself in termites, Sean began his final hike through the Amazon not before he provided an open invitation to half the Amazon’s insect population to take up residence in his humble abode. The final night was set to be an interesting one…
Has RID defeated the Amazon? Just ask Sean.

RID really did work and I didn't get munched by mosquitoes or Tse Tse files in Mana Pools (there were millions of them!).

This is the only product (Low Irritant) that is kind to my skin. As I have sensitive skin, this cream was okay and it worked perfectly.

Your product 'RID' is great stuff! We have a weekender on Russell Island, and this is the only repellent that works well against midges and mossies.

I purchased some RID tropical roll on whilst I was in Australia and found it to be a brilliant product. It is the only product that I have found in over 20 years that keeps me BITE FREE.
