WHAT IT IS
WHAT IT IS
Mosquito Beads are small dry biodegradable beads made from corn, with six essential oils mixed in. They come in a jar. You open it and pour them on the ground where you sit.
The beads sit on the ground and slowly release their scent into the air around you. The ground's natural warmth and moisture help carry the scent upward, and then the beads and oils break down naturally into the soil.
One 18 oz jar poured on the ground covers up to 1,000 square feet. That is a deck 20 feet by 50 feet. Or a patio 25 feet by 40 feet, with room left for the fire pit.
And you pick the shape. A device makes one fixed circle, even if your yard is not a circle. You pour beads where you sit, so the coverage fits your space. Down the long side of a narrow deck. Around the ring of chairs. Along the rail.
Six essential oils do the work. Geraniol at 1.75 percent, plus eugenol, peppermint, citronella, cornmint, and rosemary at 0.25 percent each. The corn beads carry the oils and hide the scent that draws mosquitoes to people. The beads are working within 10 minutes and one pour lasts up to 48 hours. Peak performance is on days 1 and 2, so you are not lighting anything at dusk or spraying again every hour.
Three ways to use them
- On the ground. Pour the beads where you sit. This is the method that gives you the full coverage area. It's what we suggest for best results.
- In the open jar. Take the lid off and set the jar nearby. Good for a tabletop, a porch rail, or anywhere you would rather not have beads underfoot.
- In a mesh bag. Pour beads in and clip it to your clothing or a chair. This is the one that travels: the sidelines, the walk to the dock, the stretch between the car and the campsite.
And yes, citronella is in here, at a quarter of a percent, one of six oils. The oil was never the problem. Burning it one wick at a time was.
No DEET. No flame. Nothing on skin. Pollinator conscious. Pet-friendly when used as directed.
Pour. Don't Spray..

HOW IT WORKS
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pour them out. Pour the beads on the ground where you sit.
2. The oils go to work. Within 10 minutes, six essential oils rise into the air around you.
3. Mosquitoes lose you. The beads mask the scent that leads mosquitoes to people.
Mosquitoes hunt by smell. They pick up a person's scent from far away and follow it in. Mosquito Beads work on that trail, not on you. The beads send oils into the air that cover up your scent, so mosquitoes have a hard time finding you. Nothing goes on your skin, because the beads are not trying to make you taste bad. They are making you hard to find.
A spray covers one person. A candle covers one table. Mosquito Beads cover the space around you.

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.
Pour. Don't Spray.Why people switch to beads
Nothing on your skin. No smoke, no stickiness — just a patio mosquitoes drift right past.

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.
What if it doesn't work for me?
You're covered by our 30-Day Happiness Guarantee. We refund one opened jar per order, with no return needed. Unopened jars can be returned within 30 days for a full refund.
Stay out past the bugs’ bedtime
Pour it once and let the night run long — dinners that don’t end, porches that fill back up.
