How It Works
Each SoFyre Mosquito Patch is a non-woven nylon sticker infused with 10% citronella oil, an EPA-registered biopesticide used in the U.S. since 1948. The moment you peel a patch from the sheet and expose it to air, the citronella begins releasing volatile compounds including citronellal, citronellol, and geraniol. These monoterpenes create an invisible vapor zone around the patch.
Mosquitoes locate you by tracking the carbon dioxide you exhale and the lactic acid your skin emits. Citronella vapor overwhelms the olfactory receptor neurons on their antennae, blocking their ability to detect these signals.
The nylon substrate acts as a slow-release reservoir, metering out citronella at a steady rate rather than dumping it all at once like a spray. This is why a single patch can last 12 to 24 hours while most sprays fade in under an hour.
No DEET. No skin absorption. No reapplying every 30 minutes. Just peel, stick, and go.
Where To Place Them
Place patches on clothing near exposed skin for best results. The vapor needs to reach the area mosquitoes target.
Upper Body
Collar, sleeve cuffs, shoulder area, or hat brim. These cover your neck, arms, and face zone.
Lower Body
Sock tops, shorts hem, or belt line. Ankles and legs are prime bite zones most people forget.
Gear & Surroundings
Stick them on stroller canopies, backpack straps, patio chair backs, tent openings, or picnic table edges. Anywhere you want a mosquito-free perimeter.
KEY RULE
Place patches within arm's reach of exposed skin. The scent barrier works best within a 20-50cm radius. Spread multiple patches across different zones for full-body coverage rather than clustering them in one spot.
How Many Do I Need?
Kids Age 0-2
1 patch placed centrally on clothing (chest or stomach area). Adult supervision required.
Kids Age 3-5
2 patches. One on the upper body, one near the legs.
Kids 6+ & Adults
2-4 patches. One near each exposed limb. If wearing shorts, add patches near both ankles and both sleeves.
High-Mosquito Environments
Lakeside, deep woods, or tropical travel: 4-6 patches spread across clothing and gear.
Each box contains 78 patches. At 2 patches per outing, that's 39 outings per box. At 4 per outing for heavier exposure, one box covers nearly 3 weeks of daily outdoor use.
Our Recommendation
Replace patches when the citronella scent fades — for most conditions, every 12-24 hours. Reseal unused patches in the pouch to preserve freshness for up to 24 months.

Here's Exactly What Happens After You Apply a Patch
Tap on each box to view progress by week
MINUTES 1–30
MOSQUITOES START AVOIDING YOU IMMEDIATELY
Citronella vapors activate on contact with air
The patch begins releasing citronellal, citronellol, and geraniol the moment you peel back the seal
Your CO2 signature gets masked
Mosquitoes track you by the carbon dioxide you exhale. Citronella oil overwhelms their olfactory receptors so they can't lock on
A scent barrier forms around the patch zone
Each patch creates a localized vapor cloud that disrupts the TRPA1 sensory channels mosquitoes use to navigate toward warm bodies
HOUR 1–6
PEAK PROTECTION WINDOW
Citronella concentration holds steady
The nylon-fiber substrate releases oil at a controlled rate, maintaining repellent vapor density through peak outdoor hours
Body-odor camouflage deepens
Lactic acid and octenol signals from your skin get buried under the monoterpene output. Mosquitoes lose interest entirely
No reapplication needed
Unlike sprays that fade after 30 minutes of sweat and friction, the patch sits on your clothing undisturbed
HOUR 6–12
EXTENDED COVERAGE CONTINUES
Slow-release keeps working through evening
The woven nylon patch acts as a reservoir, not a one-time burst. Vapor output tapers gradually, not all at once
Still effective through dusk and nightfall
Peak mosquito feeding hours are sunrise and sunset. A single patch applied in the afternoon covers you through both
Zero skin contact needed
The patch works from your clothes, hat, stroller, or tent flap. The vapor does the work, not skin absorption
HOUR 12–24
WIND-DOWN AND REPLACEMENT
Scent fades naturally as oil depletes
When you can no longer smell the citronella, protection is winding down. Time for a fresh patch
Peel and discard. No residue.
The adhesive lifts clean from fabric, gear, and furniture without staining or sticky marks
One patch per outing. Two for heavy exposure.
Most people get a full day from a single patch. Double up for deep woods, lakeside camping, or tropical humidity

FAQ
HOW LONG DOES ONE PATCH LAST?
Each patch delivers active citronella vapor for 12 to 24 hours depending on airflow and humidity. In still air like a screened porch, you'll get the full 24. In heavy wind or direct sun, closer to 12. When the citronella scent fades, swap in a fresh one.
WILL THESE KEEP MOSQUITOES AWAY OR JUST REDUCE BITES?
Citronella oil is an EPA-registered biopesticide that disrupts the olfactory receptors mosquitoes use to find you. It masks your CO2 output and body odor so mosquitoes can't lock onto you. Most customers report zero bites when using patches as directed.
ARE THESE SAFE AROUND MY TODDLER / DOG / BABY?
The patches contain 10% citronella oil on a nylon base. No DEET, no picaridin, no permethrin. They go on clothing and gear, never on skin. The EPA classifies citronella oil as a biopesticide with a non-toxic mode of action. Adult supervision recommended for children under 3.
CAN I STICK THEM ON MY SKIN DIRECTLY?
We recommend applying patches to clothing, hats, bags, strollers, chairs, and tent openings rather than directly on skin. The citronella vapor works through the air, not through skin absorption. Keeping them on fabric means zero irritation risk and longer effectiveness.
WHAT IF THEY DON'T WORK FOR ME?
You have 30 days after delivery to request a return. Write to us through the Contact page and we will walk you through it — the details are in our Refund Policy.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM CITRONELLA SPRAY I ALREADY TRIED?
Sprays sit on your skin and start evaporating the second you apply them. Sweat, friction, and sun break them down fast. Our patches sit on your clothing and release citronella vapor at a steady rate from the nylon substrate for hours. No reapplication. No greasy film.
HOW MANY PATCHES DO I NEED PER OUTING?
For light exposure like a patio dinner, 1-2 patches. For full-day outdoor activity, 3-4. For high-density mosquito environments like lakeside camping, 4-6 ringing your body and equipment. Each box gives you 78 patches.
DO THEY WORK IN RAIN OR HIGH HUMIDITY?
Yes. The nylon substrate is weather resistant. Light rain and high humidity won't stop them from releasing citronella vapor. Heavy downpour may shorten patch life, but for normal summer conditions they hold up. Reseal unused patches in the pouch to keep them fresh.
