Top 3 Best Mosquito Repellent Bracelets (2021 Review)

Let’s get something clear right up front. Mosquitorepellentbracelets don’t kill mosquitoes – now or ever. If someone has told you that mosquitoes will die if they get too close you while you’re wearing a mosquito repellent bracelet, they were lying. There’s no way to sugarcoat that one. They were flat out lying through their teeth.

Studies conducted by the Iowa State Universityshow that the most toxic essential oil available, patchouli oil, is 1700 timesless toxic比最弱的拟除虫菊酯杀虫剂在3月ket today. Incidentally, pyrethroids have been around for decades and have lost much of their effectiveness due to insecticide resistance, so 1700 times less than the weakest pyrethroid is really saying something.

Mosquito repellent bracelets don’t create a barrier or a shield around you either. They work torepelmosquitoes byreleasing natural chemicals into the air that block a mosquitoes’ ability to smell or detect their host. The length of time they work varied depending on the oil in question and the type of mosquito in your area.

Odors and chemicals are carried on the air, so if there is a breeze, mosquitoes who are downwind of you will get a nose full of those masking odors but mosquitoes that are upwind won’t be deterred by anything at all. They’ll home in on you as if you weren’t wearing a bracelet to begin with.

Short answer: you read our articles about them.

Long answer: our staff writers have many years of prior licensed experience in the field of pest control, identifying bugs, killing them, and eliminating them from homes, churches, schools, businesses, fire stations, city and county jails, hospitals, and warehouses. We know what works and what doesn’t – because we’ve used it.

In addition to commercial pesticides, we’ve used essentials oils in numerous applications. The public (mis)perception of insecticides as dangerous, has driven manufacturers to produce alternate methods of pest control using essential oils and plant extracts. From experience we have learned;

• They don’t kill mosquitoes
• They are effective in repelling a certain percentage of them

的驱蚊手镯不使用任何chemicals, harsh, soft, or otherwise. The companies use only naturally occurring substances and essential oils in their manufacture. That doesn’t necessarily mean they’re safe, however.

For example, poison ivy is a naturally occurring plant but no one in their right mind would claim that it is safe. In a similar fashion, people who suffer from pollen or other kinds of allergies would earnestly contest any claim that those things are safe. Natural doesn’t equal safe.

Or, for you mathematicians out there, natural ≠ safe.

Consequently, you should always check the packaging to determine the specific ingredients contained in the bracelet. Make sure none of them are essential oils that you, your children, or your pets are allergic to. Be especially careful with pets. Dogs and cats are often allergic to things humans aren’t.
