The summer season is fast approaching and the brief spells of summer-like weather interwoven with typical spring days are tempting us to don our shorts and t-shirts, to get outside and stay out for as long as we can in anticipation of full blown summer. Hiking, biking, playing in the outdoors with our families and evening bbq’s are just a few of the perks of season; but along with good, we have to prepare for the bad… Mosquitoes, too, have begun their warm-weather campaign.

That first day out we aren’t ready for them; over the winter we have forgotten the nuisance and threat of these pests and only retained the blissful memories from camping trips and backyard evenings. But inevitably, you hear tell-tale slap of skin-on-skin and the accompanying exclamation. The next morning you try to not scratch those irritating red bumps while making a mental note to buy bug spray.

Don’t run off to the store yet!

There is a new way to ward off mosquitoes, as well as, all those other infuriating, biting pests and it doesn’t involve spraying our families with DEET, the most common ingredient in insect repellents. MosquitNo, is finally making its Canadian debut, offering an entire line of insect repellent products using natural Citronella (derived from lemongrass), in wearable bracelets and stickers. These trendy and fun products eliminate the need to spray messy and potentially dangerous chemicals, are super easy to use, and provide 72hrs of protection.

MosquitNo, a Dutch company, has developed innovative insect repellent products, driven by the philosophy of functionality, fun & trendy, and charity. All the products have a fun and trendy element, do what they are meant to do (actually repel mosquitoes) and contribute to 10% of all profits to UNICEF.

All-natural ingredients and creative design distinguishes MosquitNo from any other product on the market with unique style and product effectiveness. The best part is that the active repellent (citronella) is fully encased in the product and does not come into contact with your skin, which mom’s really appreciate. Consumers are more aware and ever more concerned about applying dangerous chemicals such as DEET directly onto skin.

MosquitNo is an effective natural alternative that’s also fun to use, suitable for the whole family, kids and adults alike.
