A great way to protect your baby and your children from mosquito bites is to place a repellent sticker on your baby’s clothes or stroller.
There are brands like Mosquitan that have repellants impregnated with essential oils such as lemongrass that do not allow mosquitoes to get too close to the point of landing on the skin and biting, but another possibility is the use of a repellent called Kite that confuses mosquitoes. keeping them away because they can’t identify the CO2 we expel, which is more attractive to insects.
Another possibility is to put a repellent bracelet that acts in the same way.
Repellent stickers and bracelets are two safe options for infants, children and pregnant women because they do not contain DEET.In addition, these repellents are environmentally friendly, effective for keeping mosquitoes away but without harming human health and nature.
Just patch each person who needs to protect themselves from mosquitoes.It is possible to place the patch on the baby’s clothing, backpack or stroller, but it should not be applied directly to the skin as the glue and essential oil itself can cause skin irritation, or may come off due to perspiration.
Each patch protects an area of about 1 meter away, so it can be placed in the baby’s crib or outside the home, for example, however, if greater protection is desired outside, it is recommended that each person use their own adhesive stuck to the clothes.
Each patch lasts about 8 hours, making it a good choice for days when you need to be outdoors, for example, or during a dengue outbreak.
Simply place the bracelet on your wrist or ankle whenever you feel it is necessary.The effectiveness of the bracelet is 30 days after opening the packaging.
