Fortunately, BuzzPatch can save your child from bites, scratches, swelling and infections, by repelling mosquitoes naturally. It’s so nice to be able to use a product that simply sticks on to an item of clothing instead of a cream or spray. With BuzzPatch, you can protect yourself from mosquitoes while enjoying a pleasant fragrance of natural essential oils. Designed in conjunction with a top University in Australia along with a global team of entomologists (mosquito experts), BuzzPatch has become the world leader in safe, natural, non-spray mosquito repellents. To hungry mosquitoes, I imagine the patches are the equivalent of me having BO, garlic breath, and stinky feet all at once.

If you believe that your personal data has been misused, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. BuzzPatch is non-toxic and DEET free and uses the most effective and safe essential oil combination. On very, very buggy hikes, they didn't necessarily fend absolutely all of the mosquitos off, but did a pretty good job. The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings.After opening the package, use the stickers as soon as possible, because they are not designed for long-term storage. Some kids get it worse than others, developing an allergic reaction to the bite that causes the area to swell up and is really, really uncomfortable. When we are wearing buzz patches I never worry about bites, the most I have ever gotten is one bite! For children who are sensitive or allergy prone, just a single mosquito bite can be all it takes to ruin their day.

But then I heard it, like a World War II fighter plane on helium: A mosquito had broached my gauzy defense. Unlike traditional sticky repellents that are commonly applied directly on the skin, BuzzPatch is applied to clothing. I have a list of things I try if something doesn't particularly seem to work at a particular location.

A broad range of essential oils is important because different species of insects are primarily repelled by different essential oils. And when it’s time to reapply, I just slap a fresh patch on the other cheek, and wait for the first to fall away naturally. These Squitos stickers are highly effective against mosquitoes thanks to the combination of two essential oils that continuously emit an odor: lemongrass and eucalyptus essential oil. Kids aged 0-2 need 1 patch: One patch placed centrally on clothes (ie, on their jumpsuit on the stomach, chest) Kids aged 3-5 need 2 patches: One patch on the top clothes (sweater, t-shirt) and one on the shorts.
