FAQ

HOW LONG DO MOSQUITO BEADS LAST?

In lab and field tests, when sprinkled on the ground, Mosquito Beads offer Peak Performance Days 1-2. The scent slowly lessens on Days 3-5. Periodically shake the closed jar to reactivate the scent. In the jar, scent can last months.

HOW MANY OUNCES PER SQUARE FOOT for COVERAGE?

Coverage Consideration: 

5oz jar: Spread beads around your chair at a ball game or under a hammock and get several uses out of a jar. The 5oz covers 300 square feet.

18oz jar: Spread around your patio, campsite, or outdoor dinner party. Depending on size of area you can get several uses out of the 18oz. It covers 1,000 square feet.

ARE MOSQUITO BEADS HARMFUL to the ENVIRONMENT?

Absolutely not. Our beads are fully biodegradable and environment-friendly.

CAN THE SCENT BE HARMFUL TO HUMANS, ANIMALS or PETS?

Nope! Our proprietary scent is made with 100% natural essential oils comprised of Citronella, Geraniol, Rosemary and Peppermint.

WHAT IF MY DOG or CAT EAT IT?

• Dogs: Typically avoid. The citrus, herbal, and spicy aroma profile is repellent to most dogs. A rare curious or food-obsessed dog might taste a small amount (e.g., 0.1–0.5 oz), but the bitter taste stops further eating. Attraction is unlikely unless behavioral quirks (e.g., pica) override.
• Cats: Typically avoid. Cats’ sensitivity to citrus, phenols, and strong oils makes this a natural deterrent. They’re less likely to approach or ingest than dogs due to scent aversion and picky eating habits.

Verdict: Both dogs and cats would typically avoid eating this product due to its intense, repellent scent and unpalatable taste/texture. 

WILL THIS PRODUCT CAUSE ME TO SLIP IF I WALK ON IT?

Mosquito Beads do move if walked on leaving the possibility of slipping. We do not recommend sprinkling beads on a hard surface (ie, patio or sidewalk) where people may be jogging or running.

WHAT DO THE ESSENTIAL OILS DO?

Human-beings have distinct odors (for better or worse!) that Mosquitoes love. Our proprietary essential oil blend can mask our distinct scent, rendering mosquitoes "nose blind" to our presence. When used properly Mosquito Beads mask the human scent.

DOES THE MORNING DEW WASH AWAY THE SCENT?

No. Rain and heavy dew have no affect on our scent-infused beads. Exposure to air is what starts to lessen the scent of our beads.
