How it works
So simple, it feels like cheating
Six essential oils help mask your scent so mosquitoes buzz on by.
Pour on ground
Mosquitoes find you by scent. Mosquito Beads help mask it. Pour them on the ground and six essential oils go to work. The warmth of the ground helps the oils rise, building a scent layer right where you’re sitting. No sticky skin. No chemical fog.
Pour in dish
Remove the lid or pour Mosquito Beads into a dish. Set it near your table or chair for extra scent coverage right where you’re gathered. Think candles but better!
Fill, clip & go
Pour into the mesh bag and clip it to your chair, bag, or gear for scent coverage on the go. It holds fewer beads, so it covers a small space. This is a bonus option, not a replacement for the ground pour.
What's in the jar
6 essential oils. 1 simple pour.
Fast oils start strong. Slow oils hold on.
1.75%Rose Geranium
GeraniolA floral, citrusy scent that releases slowly. It anchors the blend as the lighter oils fade.
0.25%Clove
EugenolA deep, warm, spicy scent that holds on after the lighter oils fade.
0.25%Peppermint
A quick burst of mint that starts masking your scent within minutes of the pour.
0.25%Citronella
The classic summer scent. It gets to work early while the slower oils build.
0.25%Cornmint
A bright menthol mint that backs up peppermint for a fuller first wave.
0.25%Rosemary
A fresh, woody herb that rounds out the six oils into one clean, balanced scent.
All on biodegradable beads. FIFRA 25(b) exempt. Made in the USA.

Quick answers before you pour.
Does it actually work?
Mosquitoes find you by smell. Six essential oils mask that scent, so they fly by. The beads kick in within 10 minutes of the pour. Results vary with weather, wind, and the size of your space.
How fast does it work, and how long does it last?
It kicks in within 10 minutes of the pour. One pour lasts up to 48 hours, with peak performance on days 1 and 2.
Do wind and rain affect it?
Yes. Wind carries the scent, so it can drift away from where you sit. Pour on the side the wind is coming from, so the scent drifts over you. Morning dew and light mist do not affect the beads. Only a hard rain wears the scent down, so pour a fresh batch after one.
Can I use it around my dog?
Yes. Mosquito Beads are pet-friendly and DEET-free. Nothing goes on anyone's skin or fur.
How much do I need?
The Signature jar covers up to 1,000 sq ft, about a 20 x 50 deck. The Sidekick covers up to 300 sq ft. One pour covers your space, so everyone sitting there shares in the coverage. Pour heavier on nights when mosquitoes are bad.
How is this different from bug spray or candles?
Nothing goes on your skin, so no sticky arms and no chemical smell. No flame to tend, nothing to recharge, and no fog drifting onto your food. You pour it and sit down.
Will it make a mess on my patio?
Pour the beads on the ground for best results. On a nice patio, pour them into a dish or bowl, set the open jar nearby, or use the clip-on mesh bag. The beads and oils are biodegradable.
