How to Get Rid of 🦟 Mosquitoes: The BugMD Method

Mosquitoes can find you from up to 100 feet away by sensing your breath and body heat — which is why they seem to chase you even when you try to avoid them.
The key to preventing bites is creating portable scent barriers, reducing exposure, and reinforcing protection during outdoor activities.

Below is the simple, proven 3-step method BugMD customers use to stay mosquito-free on hikes, camping trips, and everyday outdoor time.

Step 1: Create a Portable Scent Barrier

Use Squito Stickers

Mosquitoes rely heavily on scent to detect their targets.
Squito Stickers release plant-powered repellents that help block those signals and keep mosquitoes from landing on you.

Apply Squito Stickers to:

Shirts & sleeves
Hats & backpacks
Pants & shorts
Strollers, baby carriers, or gear

Add more stickers throughout the day for extended protection — especially during longer outdoor activities.

👉 Think of Squito Stickers as your personal mosquito “keep away” zone.

Step 2: Make Yourself a Harder Target(Supports the Squito Stickers — not alternatives.)

Mosquitoes bite most when you’re still, warm, or in shady areas. Small behavior changes go a long way:

Wear light-colored, loose clothing when possible
Avoid standing near still water (their breeding zone)
Try to plan around peak biting hours (dawn & dusk)
Keep moving — mosquitoes struggle to land on active targets

These habits make your outdoor protection even more effective.

Step 3: Add Extra Wearable Protection

Use Mosquito Repelling Bracelets

Even with stickers on clothing, wrists and ankles remain the most common bite spots.
Mosquito Repelling Bracelets give you extra, on-skin-adjacent protection using powerful natural oils mosquitoes avoid.

Wear bracelets on:

Wrists
Ankles
Backpacks or belts (for extra coverage)

They're waterproof, reusable, and perfect for camping, hiking, beaches, festivals, or backyard time.

👉 Squito Stickers protect your clothing. Bracelets protect exposed areas.

Quick Tip!

Only female mosquitoes bite humans - they need blood to produce eggs. Male mosquitoes feed on plant nectar and don't bite at all.

Common
Types of Mosquitoes

Different mosquitoes have different behaviors and disease risks:

Culex Mosquitoes

Most common house mosquito. Bite at dusk and dawn. Can carry West Nile virus.

Anopheles Mosquitoes

Known for carrying malaria in certain regions. Rest at an angle when landed.

5 Places Mosquitoes
Breed and Hide

Mosquitoes need standing water to breed. Female mosquitoes lay eggs in water, and those eggs hatch into larvae within days. Here's where they love to breed and rest:

Birdbaths and pet water bowls

Change water every 2-3 days to stop breeding

Clogged gutters and downspouts

Trapped water becomes a mosquito factory

Flower pots and plant saucers

Any container that collects rainwater

Old tires and outdoor toys

Items that hold water create breeding grounds

Dense bushes and tall grass

Mosquitoes rest in shaded, damp vegetation during the day

A More Effective Approach

While wearing protective clothing helps, mosquitoes can detect your CO2 and body heat from far away and are incredibly persistent about finding you once they lock on.

Here's the bottom line: the best way to handle mosquitoes during outdoor time is using protection that you can take anywhere. That's where BugMD comes in - plant-powered solutions that repel mosquitoes without harsh chemicals, keeping you protected on every outdoor adventure.
