How Do Mosquito Repellent Patches Work?

Mosquito repellent patches are designed to deter mosquitoes from landing on your skin and biting you. They typically work through the following mechanisms:

01. Release of Repellent Ingredients: 

These patches contain active ingredients such as DEET (N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide), citronella oil, or picaridin. These ingredients emit a scent that is unpleasant to mosquitoes, making them less likely to approach.

02. Camouflaging Heat and Moisture: 

Some patches are designed to mimic the warmth and moisture produced by the human body. This can confuse mosquitoes and divert their attention away from you.

03. Masking Body Odor: 

Mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide and body odors emitted by humans. Mosquito repellent patches can help mask these odors, making it harder for mosquitoes to locate you.
