Bye-Bye Mosquito Stick-on Patch

With the rising cases of dengue and the eternal battle against mosquitoes, will the Bye-Bye Mosquito Stick-on Patch work?

The description is quite interesting: no chemicals, made with natural ingredients such as citronella oil, eucalyptus oil, and lemon oil.

And, you can conveniently buy it as Mercury Drug for only P39.98 (per four-pack box) or P99.98 for a 12-pack box. How's that for perfect marketing pricing, right? :-)

We've tried typical mosquito repellants, but these might contain the DEET pesticide, which can cause skin reactions. At least with eucalyptus-based repellants, you get a non-toxic alternative. Plus, it's natural!

You usually apply lotion to the skin of your children before they go off to school. Hassle, right? It takes too much time. With the Bye-Bye Mosquito Stick-on Patch, you just stick it on and go. Enjoy protection from mosquitoes for up to 12 hours.

Please note, though, that one stick-on patch is good for 60 lbs (or about 27.27 kgs).

Remember: Stick it on your clothes (like the inside of your child's shorts or the hemline of your skirt, because mosquitoes fly low).

Will this really work? I plan to stick some of these on my computer table so that mosquitoes don't feast on my arms. Let's see if this mosquito repellant works wonders. Stay tuned! :-)
