No one likes mosquitoes or having to spray on that oily, chemical-smelling repellant repeatedly just to avoid bites. Family travels often involve time outdoors and, as the weather warms, keeping pesky bugs at bay is important.

 

Now, you can keep your kids (and yourself) free from both mosquito and tick bites with NATPAT. This brand features chemical-free patches targeting different types of bugs and symptoms.

BuzzPatch mosquito patches are chemical-free, infused with a blend of Citronella and other essential oils to repel mosquitoes. These patches stick to clothes and don’t require direct contact with skin, gradually disperse aroma, and are free of chemicals like DEET and Picaridin.

 

For hikers, NATPAT also offers TrailPatch, a natural tick repellant sticker. These patches are made with a blend of plant-based ingredients including geranium, peppermint, thyme and cedarwood essential oils.

Forgot to apply patches and got bit by a bug? Apply a MagicPatch, an instant itch-relief patch that reduces bug bite irritation within minutes, meaning kids won’t be scratching. These patches feature Grid-Relief Technology that creates a micro lift in the skin, helping to drain the lymphatic system and release biochemicals that cause the itch sensation.

 

The best part? These patches come in fun designs, so you won’t have to worry about kids taking them off!

 

You can find NATPAT products on the official website, and at Amazon and Target.
