WHAT IT IS

Mosquito Beads are exactly what the name says. Small, dry granules, built on a biodegradable corn base and carrying essential oils. They come in a jar. You open it and pour them on the ground where you are sitting. That is the entire product. Nothing to charge, nothing to light, nothing that goes on your skin.

A spray covers one body. A candle covers one table. Eighteen ounces of Mosquito Beads poured on the ground covers up to 1,000 square feet.

That is a 20 by 50 foot deck. A 25 by 40 foot patio with room left for the fire pit.

And you decide the shape of it. A device throws a fixed circle whether or not your yard is a circle. You pour beads where you sit, so the coverage follows your space: down the long edge of a narrow deck, around the ring of chairs, along the rail.

Six essential oils do the work. Geraniol at 1.75 percent, then eugenol, peppermint, citronella, cornmint, and rosemary at 0.25 percent each. They ride on that corn base and mask the human scent, so mosquitoes fly by instead of finding you. Peak performance runs 1 to 2 days per application, so you are not relighting anything at dusk or reapplying every forty-five minutes.

Three ways to use them

  • On the ground. Sprinkle the beads where you are sitting. This is the method that gives you the full coverage area, and it is what we recommend 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 some in and clip it to your clothing. 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..***Beads sold separately from mesh bag.

HOW DOES IT WORK

1. Pour them out. Sprinkle the beads on the ground where you're sitting.

2. The oils go to work. Six essential oils release into the air around you.

3. Mosquitoes lose you. That scent masks yours, so they fly by instead of finding you.

Mosquitoes hunt by scent. They pick up the smell of a person from a distance and follow it in. Mosquito Beads works on that trail rather than on you. Mosquito Beads release into the air and mask the human scent, so mosquitoes never lock on and keep moving. Nothing goes on your skin, because the beads are not trying to make you unappealing. They are making you hard to find.

Questions, answered

How do Mosquito Beads actually work?+
Each bead is infused with a natural blend of geraniol, citronella and peppermint essential oils. The scent masks the human cues mosquitoes track — so they simply buzz on by instead of finding you.
How do I use them?+
Pour the beads on the ground in a ring around where you're sitting, or open the jar and set it on the table. That's it — nothing to spray, light, or plug in.
How long does a pour last?+
Sprinkled on the ground, the beads hit peak performance on days 1–2 and gradually lessen through days 3–5. Give the closed jar a shake to reactivate the scent, and refresh the pour to keep your bug-free zone going. Sealed in the jar, the scent stays stable for months.
How much area does one jar cover?+
The Sidekick (5 oz) covers up to 300 sq ft — perfect for a small patio. The Signature (18 oz) covers up to 1,000 sq ft — enough for a full deck or backyard.
Is it safe and natural?+
Yes. The formula is 100% natural, DEET-free and fully biodegradable, made in the USA. Rain and heavy dew won't wash the scent away.
Does rain or morning dew wash the scent away?+
No. Rain and heavy dew have no effect on the scent-infused beads — it's exposure to open air that gradually lessens the scent over a few days, not moisture.
What if my dog or cat eats them?+
Pets typically avoid them — the citrusy, herbal scent is a natural deterrent and the taste stops a curious nibble. They're made from 100% natural essential oils, but as with anything, keep them out of reach of pets and children.
Will the beads make a surface slippery?+
They can. The beads shift if you step on them, so we don't recommend sprinkling them on hard surfaces if you have concerns for slips and falls. Best on grass, mulch, soil, or in an open dish.
Where are Mosquito Beads made?+
Proudly made in the United States of America.
What about returns?+
Free shipping on orders over $35 and free returns for 30 days. If it's not for you, we'll make it right.
