When summer arrives and temperatures rise, the mosquitoes also appear again. There are many types of mosquitoes. The animal that most Dutch people associate with the mosquito is the mosquito. This mosquito can bite and these mosquito bites irritate and cause annoying red bumps. At night they buzz around your ears, making it difficult to fall asleep.

MosquitNo
Mosquitoes are a real nuisance in the summer, especially for children. The mosquito bites itch, people start to scratch them, and this creates small wounds that only itch more. And the buzzing around your head when you’re lying comfortably in bed, you can’t sleep either. As a parent you can now put an end to this with MosquitNo products.
The company MosquitNo has several products on the market that can make mosquitoes buzzing around your child a thing of the past:
- Stickers
- Wristbands
- Polo shirt
How do MosquitNo products work?
All MosquitNo products work with the ingredient: citronella oil. This 100% natural product is made from the leaves of the citronella plant. This essential oil is also used as a fragrance in (cleaning) products. One thing is certain: the mosquito doesn’t like it. Previously, citronella oil was used in candles to keep mosquitoes away if you want to sit comfortably and undisturbed on your terrace in the evening.
Modern technology now also makes it possible to process the oil in other types of products, such as a sticker, a wristband or a T-shirt. MosquitNo has thought about products in which citronella oil can be incorporated. People are looking for combinations that create a suitable means to tackle the nuisance caused by the mosquito, while one does not experience any nuisance or limitation themselves (for example, what does occur if you constantly have to sleep in the mosquito net (a net)).
MosquitNo ‘Bracelet’
MosquitNo wristbands work simply: they gradually release the citronella scent for up to 72 hours. This smell keeps mosquitoes away. The wristbands are made of silicone and available in no fewer than 10 colors. The text on the tape reads: Hey, don’t bite me! So they are not only functional but also trendy and fun for children to wear. They are adjustable so you can make them fit any wrist. The band is supplied in an airtight container: do not open it until you are ready to use the band, because the active ingredient has worn off after (more than) 2 days. You can keep the band, but it will no longer keep mosquitoes at bay.
MosquitNo ‘Fun Citronella sticker’
The Fun Citronella Stickers from MosquitNo have the same effect as the wristbands. You can also use these stickers to ward off annoying mosquitoes. Where you attach the wristband to the wrist of the person you want to protect, the sticker is intended to secure a specific spot. For example, attach the sticker to the edge of the bed or in the tent. The stickers have nice figures and cheerful colors. So they are also fun to watch. They repel mosquitoes for up to 72 hours.
Polo shirt
From April 2012, a polo shirt that repels mosquitoes will also be available. The method is identical: the shirt is treated with citronella oil, making it unattractive for mosquitoes to come near. Very useful for people who spend a lot of time in the boat and sail through water-rich nature reserves. The shirt is also being heavily promoted on websites for golfers: they also encounter mosquitoes on the course. The polos are available in 12 colors and in both children’s and adult sizes. The shirts are impregnated with citronella oil. The shirt continues to repel mosquitoes after 50 washes. Afterwards you will always have a nice polo shirt, but it will no longer keep mosquitoes at bay!
