NatPat introduces BuzzPatch as more studies emerge highlighting the efficacy of natural mosquito protection options for children. The wearable citronella oil patches offer a clothing-applied alternative to traditional repellents, reflecting growing interest in convenient outdoor protection during peak mosquito season.
-- In the wake of a 2026 Acta Tropica report highlighting the efficacy of natural insect repellents, including citronella and geraniol oils, NatPat has introduced BuzzPatch, natural citronella oil mosquito repellent patches for kids. The announcement comes amid growing consumer interest in wearable, DEET-free mosquito protection that offers an alternative to traditional sprays and lotions for children.

The NatPat announcement comes as parents continue exploring a broader range of mosquito protection options for young children. The American Academy of Pediatrics notes that natural insect repellents containing ingredients such as citronella, geranium, peppermint, and soybean oil have become increasingly available alongside conventional products, reflecting growing consumer interest in alternatives designed for different family preferences.
BuzzPatch uses NatPat's proprietary AromaWeave™ technology to gradually release a blend of citronella essential oil from patches applied to clothing rather than directly to the skin. Designed for children and babies, the wearable patches are intended for family activities such as camping, hiking, playground visits, backyard gatherings, holidays, and other time spent outdoors.
"Parents are spending more time outside with their children and are looking at a wider range of mosquito protection options than ever before," said Michael Jankie, Co-Founder and CEO of NatPat. "Wearable products have become an important part of that conversation because they're simple to use, easy to carry, and fit naturally into active family routines."
BuzzPatch attaches to clothing, hats, strollers, or backpacks, making it easy to apply before heading outdoors, says NatPat. The patches are available individually and as bundled packs designed for families, with resealable packaging that helps preserve the essential oil blend between uses.
