Here we introduce a whole new Mosquito Repellent to the World
Some may ask: is there room for one more mosquito
repellent on the market? Studies suggest that the answer is, Yes! Emily
Zielinski-Gutierrez from the CDC has conducted a range of studies in the
attempt to encourage the public to use mosquito repellent. These
studies have indirectly served as a valuable indicator of consumer behavior
regarding the insect repellent issue. We now know that only 40% of
the American public use insect repellent when they should. Most consumers
don’t find it convenient to put repellent on claiming that they simply
forget to apply it, or that they forget to take it with them. And there are
people who have concerns about using DEET on their or their children’s skin.
The question remains do consumers want a layer of harsh chemicals on their
skin? This is a good question.
Skeeter Guard addresses these consumer concerns. It is a patch
that doesn’t need to be placed on one’s skin allowing the user to
move around freely without even knowing that they are using repellent. The
product is compact enough to be carried in bags and pockets without leakage
being a concern. Therefore issues of convenience and portability need not be
a problem.
Moreover, our product is different from that of our competition. Like
most of our competitors we use citronella; unlike most of our competitors we
also use lemon eucalyptus which is approved by the CDC as an effective
natural alternative to DEET. Our product is sealed in an airtight
aluminum package to keep the active ingredients fresh. Some producers use
plastic packaging and other materials which may effect the natural
ingredient’s ability to remain fresh and effective.
Another problem is that patches made of plastic prevent the scent from being
effectively released. Regardless of any claims regarding the duration of
effectiveness (some claim that their products work for 72 hours), if the
scent is not efficiently dispersed into the surrounding environment the
product is basically useless.
The Skeeter Guard patch is made of a material which effectively allows the
scent of the active ingredients to be released. Each patch is effective
for up to 12 hours, which works out to 144 hours of insect repellant
protection per box. Seeing that each patch is contained in its own
protective package the end user can apply patches as necessary. That's why
when we say 144 hours of protection per box we mean 144 hours of effective
active protection!
If you want a reliable and convenient alternative to skin lotions and sprays
containing DEET and other gimmick devices with unproven effectiveness, than
our product is the one you have been waiting for.
