Results

One member, a registered nurse, received 8 mosquito bites the first night.

The recommended second patch was added and she received no more bites.

Each adult member put on two patches due to the extreme mosquito conditions and rotated one patch each 24-36 hrs.

Each participant responded well resulting in complete mosquito protection.

What others say about us

“I have used them when fishing, camping, riding horses and other sports. DEET does not repel horse flies but Bug Patch does! Thank you for making something so safe that works so well.”

“I would strongly recommend The Bug Patch from a personal as well as professional evaluation by my Mission Team in Panama.  It provided outstanding protection.”
