Let’s face it, mosquitoes are nasty bugs that can make you miserable. In addition, they can carry terrible diseases. Mosquito repellents can be highly toxic and there are natural versions that hardly work.

Kite Shield Natural Mosquito Repellent is DEET-free and made from botanical ingredients which are safe enough to eat. With Kite, scientists found a way to naturally target mosquitoes’ sensing receptors, which are the parts that guide them to food sources. As a result, this repellent essentially confuses the receptors and creates a barrier on your skin that makes you invisible to mosquitoes. Kite’s video pretty much speaks for itself. According to Kite, their mosquito repellent offers up to 4 hours protection against Culex quinquefasciatus, up to 2 hours against Aedes aegypti and up to 90 minutes against Anopheles quadrimaculatus mosquitoes.
