Anti Mosquito Patch

Edited: Actually this post dedicated to Rachel cos remember one of her photos got many red patches on her cute chubby face?

I have been seeing and reading other Mummies’/Daddies’ blogs and usually we can see that their beloved kids were bitten by mozzies and sometimes other insects. I think this is a very common thing that is encountered by most parents and the country we live in. By evening time, mozzies will definitely come out and start looking for their “juicy victims”. Kids are their main target. Adults, not so much because we would squash these mozzies whenever we can.

I want to share with all parents out there that there’s actually a solution to this. We have been using this Anti Mosquito Patch for Raelynne when she was still a tiny little baby. We had mozzies problem at home and usually she would be the victim, but I must say that since she was born, we can probably count with a couple of fingers how many times she was bitten. Maybe the mozzies didn’t like her!

Anyway, this Anti Mosquito Patch can be bought at Guardian or Watsons. For East Malaysia, it retails at RM14.20 per pack of 10 round disc. It is totally safe for babies and children to use and can also be used for adults. At first when you open the well sealed package, you can smell the scent. Its basically smell like “serai” a kind of plant use for cooking. In fact, my Mum said might as well she pound the serai! Hahaha. Unlike insect sprays and so on, the smell is not irritating and totally safe. It keeps the mozzies away definitely! Since it comes with a double sided tape, you can stick it on your kids’ clothes or if you carry them most of the time, you can stick it on your own clothes.

One round disc will last for at least half a day, in fact I think it claimed to last up to 12 hours. Sometimes when we use it for Raelynne, we noticed that it also protects us, as it covers a minimum radius. Its useful especially when you go outdoors in evening or when you are having dinner in an open air restaurant.
