Mosquitoes and bugs, how to keep them away..NEW Product

[FrankT]

I am sure we all use Thermacells and they are great w no wind and sitting still. I have probably used every spray known to man and some work ok some not so good and some not at all. I do have head nets and bug suits too(boy are they hot!).

Any way Cactus Juice helps with the yellow flies here, they are a terrible bite too! I hate deet as it destroys everything it touches and poisons you too. Sawyers and the home made using pyrethins sorta works and eucalyptus oil is soso.

I ran across this stuff and have it on order, they are also developing a disk to wear keeping bugs away up to 48 hrs and that should be out soon. This is not just another made up product, the Bill Gates Foundation is behind the company and it is a scientific development. I cannot wait for the disk but wanted to try this as well.

About the Product

• A proven-effective, patent-pending, DEET-free mosquito repellent made from botanical active ingredients
• Up to 4 hours protection against mosquitoes*
• Third-party validated efficacy data
• With Kite, They Don't Bite!™

Kite Shield’s patent-pending formula works by targeting mosquitoes’ sensing receptors - the part of the insect that guides them towards a food source. Our synergistic blend of botanical active ingredients confuses the receptors and creates a barrier on the skin. All you have to do is spray Kite Shield on your skin and the mosquito-blocking shield of protection goes to work. Kite Shield makes you virtually invisible - if they can’t find you, they can’t bite you! Kite Shield has not been registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It qualifies for exemption from registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). *Up to 4 hours protection against Culex quinquefasciatus, up to 2 hours against Aedes aegypti and up to 90 minutes against Anopheles quadrimaculatus mosquitoes. This product cannot be shipped to the states of South Dakota and Connecticut.

Hmmmmmm . . . . sounds good but wondering why it cannot be shipped to two states. --- pruhdlr

It has no EPA approval those states need, stupid rules I guess

Ever Heard of the Kite Mosquito Patch? Here's What it Will Do

I'll give it a try.

 

[Homebrewer]

Good heads up there - thanks Frank!

 

[FrankT]

as soon as the patch/disk is available I will update this and after I try the spray!

Will be worth trying. I dont like DEET on my skin, I think I may be allergic it. This nes stuff says it smells sweet, maybe the hogs will like it. I love the idea of patches.

Doesn't look like it does anything for chiggers and ticks. Bummer.

 

[Bacon8tor]

I've put up with the mosquitos just because the OFF smells so strong and I don't want it to run off the hogs faster than my BO does.

Doesn't look like it does anything for chiggers and ticks. Bummer.

Yeah not sure what the final product will look like, hopefully all the things that attack us will at least be slowed down. I use sawyers on my clothes for ticks and chiggers now and don't have to treat my skin.

Something other than DEET sure would be nice. It works, but, is vile stuff.
