End the bug battles: "No-Bite-Me" offers a win/win
Mosquitoes are drawn to human skin by our warmth and scent, which (to a mosquito) is a delicious blend of carbon dioxide, skin cells, and sweat. "No-Bite-Me" combines the power of multiple natural repellents. It uses a proprietary blend of herbs and essential oils that come together in a minty, herbaceous camouflage, giving mosquitos, black flies, fleas, and ticks the "No-Bite-Me" message: Move along, wee bitey ones, nothing smells tasty here!
