Mosquito Patches - 78 Pack of Bug Stickers for Kids and Adults, Natural Citronella Patch Sticks to Any Surface - DEET Free Mosquito Stickers

Effectiveness: These RiptGear mosquito patches have been absolutely wonderful for protecting my kids during outdoor activities without having to constantly reapply messy bug sprays. The natural citronella patches provide excellent protection against mosquitoes and other biting insects during camping trips, backyard play, and evening sports activities. I love that they work for both kids and adults, and the 78-pack provides excellent coverage for our entire family through the summer season. The patches stay effective for hours and have significantly reduced the number of bug bites my children get during outdoor adventures. The sticker format makes them fun for kids to use and they actually want to wear them, which solves the usual battle with bug spray application. Quality: The patch construction is excellent with strong adhesive that stays in place during active play but removes easily without leaving residue or irritating sensitive skin. The natural citronella scent is pleasant and not overpowering like some chemical repellents that can cause headaches or skin reactions. The patches maintain their effectiveness throughout their stated duration without losing potency or adhesion. The materials are clearly designed with children's safety in mind, using natural ingredients that provide peace of mind for parents concerned about chemical exposure. The packaging keeps patches fresh and maintains their effectiveness until use. Value for Money: These mosquito patches provide outstanding value for chemical-free bug protection that's especially valuable for families with young children. The 78-pack offers excellent coverage for multiple family members throughout the entire mosquito season at a very reasonable cost per patch. The natural approach eliminates concerns about chemical exposure while providing effective protection, making this far more valuable than constantly battling with spray applications. The convenience and kid-friendly format save time and frustration during outdoor activities, making these worth far more than their modest cost for busy families. These mosquito patches have made outdoor activities much more enjoyable for our family by providing effective, natural bug protection. Highly recommend for families wanting safe, convenient insect protection for children and adults!

Okay, there's alot of conflicting reviews on here and after ALOT of googling I decided to try these out. I also waited 2 weeks of use before commenting so i'll try to make this as clear as possible: THE TRUTH: - (most) of these natural stickers that repel mosquitoes work based off of a natural scent, 9/10 it's lemongrass whose active repellent is Citronellal. Citronellal oil is what the stickers are doused in. This is what repels misquotes. (there are a number of other natural plants/oils that do this, but Citronellal oil is the most popular one) - Citronellal oil is something like 70% as successful at repelling misquotes as DEET (the chemical spray) is. So off the bat you have to keep in mind that just one single natural oil on a sticker isn't going to be as good as a chemically made laboratory spray. - That being said; it works really well. BUT it's most effective for maybe 3-4 hours. If you're an adult, you'll probably want to use 2 at a time. One on your pants, one on your shirt. AND if you're going to be outdoors for more than 3-4 hours, you'll probably want to reapply the stickers after 4 hours. - That doesn't mean 1 sticker won't work for 24 hours. It just means that it's 100% effective at being 70% as effective as DEET for 3-4 hours before it starts being LESS effective. I hope that makes sense of the contradicting reviews. So overall, it's good and i recommend it for a natural outdoor solution. But I also recommend reapplication on adults every 4 or so hours for it to remain effective.

I love love love this product I have never been bothered less when I'm wearing them out doing gardening and I have the woods behind our house they work good. You will like these a lot and the price is pretty good. I like the smell it's like lemon grass.

I feel like the bug braclets and candles are easier, faster, and do a better job. These stickers smell good to me, and doesnt seem to bother the bugs. I got ate alive one time i used only these.

Amazing product to get rid off mosquitos. Personally I’m allergic to mosquitos bites so I put the patch and bracelet on to avoid bites

This is the second time I tried to send a review, the first one failed to be picked up, this product does not stick, read the comments others made, no way anyone can know if they work if they fall off the clothing you stick them immediately. They do not stick, adhesive for sure old or junk, arrived yesterday, failed this AM trying to install per the directions, the image above showed what we did to keep them on, stapled around my shoe laces, the stated time of effectiveness isnt worth a lot if they fall off as soon as you stand up, not sticking for even a minute .. would like to hear from MFG whats going on, if this is an out of date product then Amazon shouldn't sell it .. its labor day weekend, when its over I will call and send this NO STICK product back .. failed and unusable. UPDATE .. since this item was posted I have heard back from both the MFG and Amazon and it appears there was some issue with the dot batch I received, it should be noted the problems I had are very uncommon and my case was with all the best of effort and curtesy of both RiptGear and Amazon handled to my satisfaction. An unusual situation which has been resolved and I thank both entities for their assistance, I appreciate their expertise and performance.

We don't have mosquitos in the PNW, but wasps can be a problem, especially in our garden with quite a few fruiting bushes and trees. They're especially interested in the kids' water table, which is a definite bummer. I stuck these on my kids, and the canopy over the water table, and the wasps don't come anywhere near. They have a strong, but not obnoxious, scent that does what it claims to do. If you're considering them, I highly recommend!

Excellent product and great customer service. fast delivery.
