The Truth About Deterrents for Spiders

Before looking for spiders deterrents, you need to start by determining the problem that you need to solve.

Spiders can gain access to a house in a number of ways, such as through any openings, windows, and doors. Minimizing clutter, sealing up obvious entry points and keeping areas clean can help to make the inside surfaces less inviting to unwanted pests.

In some cases natural insect-repellent products may be helpful, but please be aware of the insect that a product is meant for before purchasing it.

Unlike a specific spider-repellent product, the emphasis of NATPAT's current outdoor range is on mosquito and tick protection. It has BuzzPatch products with essential-oil based stickers for protection against mosquitoes.

So it is best not to presume that a mosquito repellent will necessarily repel spiders.

How to Choose Sleep Stickers

Choosing sleep stickers is easy.There's no trick to choosing sleep stickers.

Making sleep stickers a part of a bedtime routine is easy, and especially for those who want to try an alternative that doesn't involve taking a pill.

The SleepyPatch stickers from NATPAT contain a combination of mandarin, lavender, sweet marjoram and vetiver essential oils. The patches are formulated to give a soothing fragrance all night long, the company states.

The SleepyPatch for kids is intended to be applied to clothes or a bed frame, NOT on the skin. NATPAT also has an adult version of its bed time stickers.

Look at the intended age group, ingredients, directions for use and the product's shelf life when selecting sleep stickers.

Creating a Better Routine for Bedtime

Sleep products are designed to complement a bedtime routine, they are not meant to replace healthy sleep habits.

If you can, have a consistent bedtime routine, limit stimulating activities before bedtime, and make the bedroom the place of rest, relaxation, and darkness.

According to NATPAT, SleepyPatch is "soothing essential-oil aromas to the child's sleep routine." The firm suggests applying the patches regularly, as during its 24-night adjustment period.

If sleep problems persist or interfere greatly with everyday life, try talking with your health care provider about the issue, not just using a sticker or other consumer product.

Bite Relief Mechanics, Infected Bite Protocols, & Mosquito Protection

What to Do If You Get a Mosquito Bite

Itching, redness and swelling are common reactions to mosquito bites, due to mosquito saliva. Most reactions are temporary, but some individuals have more intense reactions.

Don't scratch the area, as it may raise the chances of infection.

NATPAT's MagicPatch is specially formulated to relieve itch caused by insect bites. According to the company, the company's Grid-Relief technology mechanically raises the skin around the bite, and is designed to minimize itching and swelling without the use of medication.

Bite Relief Patches are not insect-repellents patches. The one is for an existing bite, the other for reducing the exposure to insects.

What to Do for an Infected Mozzie Bite

A mozzie bite that is infected requires more treatment than a regular itchy bite.

Signs of possible infection may include a spread of redness, warmth, pain, swelling, pus or an increase in redness from the bite site. The NHS advises that if these symptoms are experienced medical advice should be sought.

Don't think that an itch-relief sticker is supposed to cure an infection. NATPAT's MagicPatch is not indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections, but rather to alleviate itching and swelling caused by bites.

If symptoms getting worse, area is getting more painful/ hot, or you have other concerning symptoms, please contact medical advice as soon as possible.

Ways to Keep Mosquitoes From Biting You

Prevention is particularly important because mosquitoes are a vector for diseases in certain areas of the world.

NATPAT's BuzzPatch has stickers based on essential oils, which the company sells to protect against mosquitoes. The adult version contains citronella essential oil and is meant to be worn on clothes as opposed to being applied to the skin as a traditional skin-applied repellent.

Proven EPA-registered insect repellents, however, are recommended by the CDC for protecting against mosquito-borne diseases and the effectiveness of non-EPA-registered natural repellents is not known.

In more serious situations, use proven prevention strategies like using the right repellents, long sleeves, screens and eliminating standing water near the house.

Final Thoughts on Natural Sticker Selection

The right choice is based on what you are looking to accomplish, whether it's to avoid being exposed to insects, promote an evening routine, or alleviate discomfort caused by an insect bite.
