HOW IT WORKS

Each SoFyre Mosquito Patch is a non-woven nylon sticker infused with 10% citronella oil, an EPA-registered biopesticide used in the U.S. since 1948.

 

The moment you peel a patch from the sheet and expose it to air, the citronella begins releasing volatile compounds including citronellal, citronellol, and geraniol. These monoterpenes create an invisible vapor zone around the patch.

 

Mosquitoes locate you by tracking the carbon dioxide you exhale and the lactic acid your skin emits. Citronella vapor overwhelms the olfactory receptor neurons on their antennae, blocking their ability to detect these signals.

 

The nylon substrate acts as a slow-release reservoir, metering out citronella at a steady rate rather than dumping it all at once like a spray. This is why a single patch can last 12 to 24 hours while most sprays fade in under an hour.

 

No DEET. No skin absorption. No reapplying every 30 minutes. Just peel, stick, and go.

WHERE TO PLACE THEM

Place patches on clothing near exposed skin for best results. The vapor needs to reach the area mosquitoes target.

 

Upper body: Collar, sleeve cuffs, shoulder area, or hat brim. These cover your neck, arms, and face zone.

 

Lower body: Sock tops, shorts hem, or belt line. Ankles and legs are prime bite zones most people forget.

 

Gear and surroundings: Stick them on stroller canopies, backpack straps, patio chair backs, tent openings, or picnic table edges. Anywhere you want a mosquito-free perimeter.

 

Key rule: Place patches within arm's reach of exposed skin. The scent barrier works best within a 20-50cm radius. Spread multiple patches across different zones for full-body coverage rather than clustering them in one spot.

HOW MANY DO I NEED? 

Kids age 0-2: 1 patch placed centrally on clothing (chest or stomach area). Adult supervision required.

 

Kids age 3-5: 2 patches. One on the upper body, one near the legs.
Kids 6+ and adults: 2-4 patches. One near each exposed limb. If wearing shorts, add patches near both ankles and both sleeves.

 

High-mosquito environments (lakeside, deep woods, tropical travel): 4-6 patches spread across clothing and gear.

 

Each box contains 78 patches. At 2 patches per outing, that's 39 outings per box. At 4 per outing for heavier exposure, one box covers nearly 3 weeks of daily outdoor use.

 

Replace patches when the citronella scent fades. For most conditions, that's every 12-24 hours. Reseal unused patches in the pouch to preserve freshness for up to 24 months.

MINUTES 1–30

MOSQUITOES START AVOIDING YOU IMMEDIATELY

Citronella vapors activate on contact with air

The patch begins releasing citronellal, citronellol, and geraniol the moment you peel back the seal

Your CO2 signature gets masked

Mosquitoes track you by the carbon dioxide you exhale. Citronella oil overwhelms their olfactory receptors so they can't lock on

A scent barrier forms around the patch zone

Each patch creates a localized vapor cloud that disrupts the TRPA1 sensory channels mosquitoes use to navigate toward warm bodies

Tap on each box to view progress by week

HOUR 1–6

PEAK PROTECTION WINDOW

Citronella concentration holds steady

The nylon-fiber substrate releases oil at a controlled rate, maintaining repellent vapor density through peak outdoor hours

Body-odor camouflage deepens

Lactic acid and octenol signals from your skin get buried under the monoterpene output. Mosquitoes lose interest entirely

No reapplication needed

Unlike sprays that fade after 30 minutes of sweat and friction, the patch sits on your clothing undisturbed

Tap on each box to view progress by week

HOUR 6–12

EXTENDED COVERAGE CONTINUES

Slow-release keeps working through evening

The woven nylon patch acts as a reservoir, not a one-time burst. Vapor output tapers gradually, not all at once

Still effective through dusk and nightfall

Peak mosquito feeding hours are sunrise and sunset. A single patch applied in the afternoon covers you through both

Zero skin contact needed

The patch works from your clothes, hat, stroller, or tent flap. The vapor does the work, not skin absorption

HOUR 12–24

WIND-DOWN AND REPLACEMENT

Scent fades naturally as oil depletes

When you can no longer smell the citronella, protection is winding down. Time for a fresh patch

Peel and discard. No residue.

The adhesive lifts clean from fabric, gear, and furniture without staining or sticky marks

One patch per outing. Two for heavy exposure.

Most people get a full day from a single patch. Double up for deep woods, lakeside camping, or tropical humidity

FAQ

HOW LONG DOES ONE PATCH LAST?

Each patch delivers active citronella vapor for 12 to 24 hours depending on airflow and humidity. In still air like a screened porch, you'll get the full 24. In heavy wind or direct sun, closer to 12. When the citronella scent fades, swap in a fresh one.

WILL THESE KEEP MOSQUITOES AWAY OR JUST REDUCE BITES?

Citronella oil is an EPA-registered biopesticide that disrupts the olfactory receptors mosquitoes use to find you. It masks your CO2 output and body odor so mosquitoes can't lock onto you. Most customers report zero bites when using patches as directed.

ARE THESE SAFE AROUND MY TODDLER / DOG / BABY?

The patches contain 10% citronella oil on a nylon base. No DEET, no picaridin, no permethrin. They go on clothing and gear, never on skin. The EPA classifies citronella oil as a biopesticide with a non-toxic mode of action. Adult supervision recommended for children under 3.

CAN I STICK THEM ON MY SKIN DIRECTLY?

We recommend applying patches to clothing, hats, bags, strollers, chairs, and tent openings rather than directly on skin. The citronella vapor works through the air, not through skin absorption. Keeping them on fabric means zero irritation risk and longer effectiveness.

WHAT IF IT DOESN'T WORK? CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK?

Yes. Full refund within 30 days. No questions asked. Just email us. We stand behind every patch in the box.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM CITRONELLA SPRAY I ALREADY TRIED?

Sprays sit on your skin and start evaporating the second you apply them. Sweat, friction, and sun break them down fast. Our patches sit on your clothing and release citronella vapor at a steady rate from the nylon substrate for hours. No reapplication. No greasy film.

HOW MANY PATCHES DO I NEED PER OUTING?

For light exposure like a patio dinner, 1-2 patches. For full-day outdoor activity, 3-4. For high-density mosquito environments like lakeside camping, 4-6 ringing your body and equipment. Each box gives you 78 patches.

DO THEY WORK IN RAIN OR HIGH HUMIDITY?

Yes. The nylon substrate is weather resistant. Light rain and high humidity won't stop them from releasing citronella vapor. Heavy downpour may shorten patch life, but for normal summer conditions they hold up. Reseal unused patches in the pouch to keep them fresh.
