Nothing ruins a fun outdoor adventure like the constant swatting of mosquitoes. Whether it’s a backyard barbecue, a camping trip, or an evening stroll, these pesky insects always seem to find a way to bite. That’s where BuzzPatch comes in—NATPAT’s natural, chemical-free solution designed to keep mosquitoes away using the power of essential oils. But how does it work? Let’s dive into the science behind BuzzPatch’s active ingredients and how they effectively disrupt mosquitoes’ ability to find and bite you.
How Do Mosquitoes Find Their Targets?
To understand how BuzzPatch works, we first need to look at how mosquitoes detect humans. These tiny but relentless insects rely on three main factors to locate their next meal:
- Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) – Mosquitoes are drawn to the CO₂ we exhale. The more you breathe out (especially during exercise or in warm weather), the more attractive you become to them.
- Body Heat – Mosquitoes use heat sensors to find warm-blooded hosts, making sweaty or active individuals prime targets.
- Skin Odors & Sweat – The chemicals in our sweat, like lactic acid and ammonia, play a major role in attracting mosquitoes. Some people naturally produce more of these compounds, which is why some individuals seem to get bitten more than others.
How BuzzPatch’s Essential Oils Disrupt Mosquito Senses
BuzzPatch uses a carefully selected blend of natural essential oils that interfere with the way mosquitoes detect their human hosts. These oils mask our natural scents, confusing mosquitoes and making it much harder for them to locate and bite us.
1. Citronella Oil – The Mosquito Blocker
Citronella is one of the most well-known natural insect repellents. It works by disrupting mosquitoes’ olfactory receptors, making it difficult for them to smell carbon dioxide and human skin odors. Studies have shown that citronella-based repellents can be as effective as DEET for short periods, making it a safer and natural alternative for families.
2. Lavender Oil – The Dual-Action Defender
Lavender oil not only repels mosquitoes but also soothes the skin if bites do occur. The strong floral scent confuses mosquitoes’ sensory receptors, preventing them from honing in on body heat and sweat. Plus, its calming properties make it a great addition for kids who need a little relaxation after a long day of play.
