A viral mosquito repellent product created by an Aussie brand has taken off globally – and right now, shoppers can score major savings.
Nat Pat, the Australian business behind BuzzPatch mosquito repellent stickers, has sold more than $30 million worth of stickers worldwide in the past 12 months, with parents praising the product for being safe, simple and mess-free. To mark the surge in popularity, Nat Pat is currently offering up to 70% off across its range on its website for a limited time.
Designed specifically for Australian conditions, BuzzPatch was created on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula to handle the high-density mosquito populations common across backyards, wetlands and coastal camping spots. For parents, that local focus provides peace of mind – the product has been developed and tested for the same insects families are dealing with at barbecues, playgrounds and beach holidays.
One of the biggest drawcards is that the stickers are chemical-free. Instead of relying on DEET or Picaridin, BuzzPatch uses a plant-based blend of citronella and essential oils to help mask the carbon dioxide humans emit, making wearers less detectable to mosquitoes. Because the patches are applied to clothing rather than directly to skin, they’re particularly appealing for children with sensitive skin or eczema, with no sticky residue or fumes involved.
For parents who’ve struggled through the chaos of applying insect spray to wriggly toddlers, the stickers also solve a very real problem. The bright, smiley-face designs turn protection into something kids actually want to wear, while the peel-and-stick application takes seconds – no spray clouds, no tears, no battles.
Each BuzzPatch sticker offers up to 8 to 12 hours of protection, making them suitable for full summer days spent outdoors. They’re also packaged in resealable ziplock bags to maintain potency for up to 24 months, meaning one pack can last across multiple seasons.
Nat Pat has expanded beyond mosquito protection, with complementary products including sunscreen reminder patches and itch-relief stickers, creating a broader “set and forget” solution for Australian summer living.
With warmer weather among us and mosquitoes already making their presence felt, the current up to 70% off sale offers a timely chance for parents to stock up while discounts are still available.
