Natural Mosquito Repellent


The Natural Repellent
Natural mosquito repellents are being sought out increasingly more in a world where people are becoming more conscious about their health and the environment.
For many business owners, homeowners and professional pest control services, having an effective natural mosquito control is highly desired—even deemed necessary—to help keep away unwanted guests. Having a throng of mosquitos crash an outdoors business function, special event, or family party amounts to a faux pas, after all, and can leave guests and members of your household scurrying back indoors.
Let’s explore natural mosquito repellents and zero in on the Stop The Bites®! brand for mosquito and tick control, exploring its efficacy among natural mosquito sprays and synthetic mosquito sprays.
What Is a Natural Mosquito Repellent?
A natural mosquito repellent is a product formulated to help repel mosquitoes from occupying a treated area. A natural mosquito repellent is formulated from ingredients considered to be family-friendly, pet-friendly and qualify for exemption from registration under section 25(b) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act.

Best Natural Mosquito Repellent
For decades, natural mosquito repellents were found to be effective but not nearly as capable as synthetic mosquito repellents. For this reason, usage of natural mosquito repellents has lagged behind compared with usage of conventional mosquito repellents.
If you’re searching for the best natural mosquito repellent and mosquito control, you need look no further than Stop The Bites®! With efficacy as powerful as synthetic mosquito repellents, Stop The Bites®! is unrivaled in the natural mosquito repellent space. Stop The Bites®! does an excellent job at both repelling and controlling mosquitoes for more than 21 days. This product is also extremely effective as a tick repellent.
More and more people and businesses are turning to natural mosquito repellants rather than synthetic options. We’re even seeing state legislatures considering bills that will impact synthetic pest control.
Stop The Bites®! Natural Mosquito Control Testing Results
We’ve tested our product thoroughly. A mosquito repellent test, conducted by the highly reputed third-party testing agency Snell Scientific, showed Stop The Bites®! to knock down 100 percent of mosquitoes just four hours after application. This knockdown rate outperformed the industry’s most popular pyrethroid.
This test showed Stop The Bites®! to be 90 percent effective in mosquito control 14 days after application. One competitor’s natural mosquito repellent was found to be 80 percent effective at this point, with yet another competitor’s product producing just more than 60 percent effectiveness. Meanwhile, a leading synthetic mosquito control was found to be 100 percent effective.
Twenty-one days after application, Stop The Bites®! was found to be as effective as it was at 14 days, at a shade above 90 percent. Two natural mosquito repellent competitors fared worse, with one shown to be slightly less than 80 percent effective and another slightly less than 40 percent effective. The leading synthetic brand still achieved 100 percent effectiveness.

Natural Mosquito Repellent Use Around Babies, Dogs, Cats and Bees
Many want to know whether a natural mosquito repellent is acceptable to use in places where kids, babies, dogs, cats and, based on fears of their dwindling population, bees may come in contact with.
At least one natural mosquito repellent, Stop The Bites®!, is considered to be acceptable for use in areas where these groups may spend time.

Whether your kids are running around the yard or hanging out on the patio, we’re here to help you take care of them and prevent mosquito bites.
Natural Mosquito Repellent for Babies
Stop The Bites®! is a natural mosquito repellent that may be used on vegetation with which babies may be in contact. Whereas synthetic mosquito controls use chemicals that may pose significant health risks to the human population, especially among babies, whose immune systems are less robust than children and adults, Stop The Bites®! ingredients are natural and baby-friendly.
Natural Mosquito Repellent for Dogs
Although Stop The Bites®! is not to be applied directly on dogs, it may be considered as a natural mosquito repellent for dogs because mosquitoes may be treated in areas in which a family dog were to roam, decreasing the risk of mosquito infestation. Mosquitoes transmit worms that can cause heartworm disease, can result in severe heart failure, lung disease, other organ damage and even death in dogs. Heartworm disease is caused by a parasitic worm known as Dirofilaria immitis.
Natural Mosquito Repellent for Cats
Just as with dogs, Stop The Bites®! may be considered an effective natural mosquito repellent for cats by virtue of the fact that areas in which a family cat were to traverse may be treated. If a family cat were to remain within the treated premises, the cat’s risk of mosquito infestation would decrease. Our mosquito repellent is animal safe.
Cats are also susceptible to heartworm disease stemming from mosquito infestation. Just as with dogs, cats can serve as hosts, with worms maturing into adults, mating and producing offspring while living inside a cat. A mosquito can be an intermediate host, with worms living inside a mosquito for a brief period while becoming infective, or able to trigger heartworm disease. These worms are referred to as “heartworms” because the adults live in the heart, lungs and connected blood vessels of animals that have become infected.
Bee-Friendly Mosquito Control
Many businesses and homeowners want to use only bee-friendly mosquito control. In the past decade, concern has amplified over the dwindling bee population. Wild and domestic honey bees perform about 80 percent of worldwide pollination, according to Greenpeace. The honey bee population declined from 6 million hives in 1947 to 2.4 million hives in 2008, representing a 60 percent reduction, according to U.S. agricultural statistics. Synthetic mosquito controls can be harmful to bees, leaving many businesses, homeowners and professional pest control services searching for a bee-friendly mosquito repellent. Stop The Bites®! is non-repellent to beneficials, which are essential to pollination in our natural ecosystem. Alone and in combination with other factors, pesticides have had a devastating effect on honeybees and wild pollinators. Pesticides commonly found in lawn and garden products and used in agriculture are known to be hazardous to bees, with some killing bees outright and others producing subtle effects that reduce bees’ ability to thrive.Additionally, pesticides damage the ability of bees to gather food. Since bees are the most important pollinators of crops, the use of pesticides can drastically reduce the yield of cross-pollinated crops. Finally, contamination of bee products and decreased honey production are other bee effects triggered by pesticides.
Application Practices to Reduce Risk to Bees
Using our spray is simple, but there are a few things to keep in mind. It’s important for those applying Stop The Bites®! not to spray on flowers when bees are foraging. It’s critical to allow enough time between prebloom sprays and placement of hives to avoid exposing honey bees to any liquid. Liquids—be them water or Stop the Bites!® solution—can harm bees, but dried Stop the Bites!® solution is safe for bees.
It’s also advised to spray in a way that reduces drift of the solution onto areas where bees are living or foraging. It’s recommended to keep the spray on target, and consider spray droplet size and wind speed in determining downward spray reach. It may be helpful to use larger droplet sizes such as 150 microns or greater to help reduce drift. Finally, it may also be helpful to avoid spraying under high wind speeds such as those at or exceeding 10 mph and high air temperatures.
Biopesticides for Mosquitos
Stop The Bites®!, like other biopesticides, targets only the target pests (in this instance, mosquitos) and has little to no danger to mammals, pollinators, humans, and other non-target species. Biopesticides are made from natural ingredients to minimize their impact.
