Nootkatone, a grapefruit-scented terpene, extracted from grapefruit skins or the bark of the Alaska yellow cedar and going through specialized fermentation processes, is a new addition to the small arsenal of mosquito-control tools that could help stop the spread of mosquito transmitted diseases like Zika virus, dengue and etc., according to a Swiss biotechnology firm. Plant terpenes such as citronella and geraniol have long been known to repel mosquitoes; indeed, plants produce the chemicals to deter insect predation. CDC researchers have shown that Nootkatone can kill adult mosquitoes as well as ticks and fleas. And one CDC study suggests that its mode of action is different from those of synthetic pesticides (J. Med. Entomol., 2010, DOI: dx.doi.org/10.1603/ME10098).

Description

One 50ml Gel x 30ml Travel Mist.

Fresh natural aroma. 100% natural is a powerful insect repellent that gives protection against mosquitoes, gnats, midges, headlice, ticks and other insects. Deet free, safe for children over 1.

Don’t Bite Me mist and our roll-on are formulated from all-natural ingredients inclusive of essential oils and plant extracts. These natural products will effectively repel mosquitoes, but they require more frequent re-application (at least every 4 hours) and higher concentrations than their other chemical counter-part. Because of the differences between types of mosquitoes, products that contain multiple repellents tend to be more effective than those containing a single ingredient.

Microbial and insects CANNOT develop resistance to natural ingredients, therefore our Repellent is powerful but completely safe for the family to use all day if needed – there is absolutely no danger of over application. It is also fully useable indoor and outdoors.

Repelling, mosquitoes and other flying insects. This easy-to-use mosquito and insect repellent are formulated with 100% natural botanical oils that are safe to use around people and pets.

Killing off mosquito populations is becoming increasingly difficult as they develop resistance to traditional permethrin, organophosphate, carbamate, and dieldrin insecticides, according to the CDC. The World Health Organization advises that controlling the spread of Zika requires removing mosquito breeding sites and reducing contact between mosquitoes and people, such as by insect repellent.
