Attention parents in Prince George! We are excited to announce that BuzzPatch from Natural Patch is back in stock at Nest & Sprout! If you're looking for an effective and natural way to protect your kids from pesky mosquito bites this summer, look no further than BuzzPatch.

The will ship April 8, 2024. This year we will offer free lettermail shipping when order 3 or less. With the store closing, we hope this is a quick and easy way to get you what you need efficiently.

Created with you and your kids in mind, BuzzPatch is a convenient and spray-free solution that prevents mosquito bites instantly. With up to 12 hours of protection, you can feel confident that your little ones are safe and itch-free.

What makes BuzzPatch unique is its all-natural formulation. Made with non-woven fabric patches infused with a combination of Citronella and other essential oils, BuzzPatch is perfectly safe for your kids. Unlike topical sprays which contain DEET or Picaridin, BuzzPatch is not only easy to apply, but also environmentally friendly.

But how many patches do you need to use? According to the BuzzPatch team, kids aged 0-2 need 1 patch, placed centrally on clothes. Kids aged 3-5 need 2 patches, one on the top clothes (sweater, t-shirt) and one on the shorts. Kids aged 6+ and parents need 2-4 patches, one patch on the clothing next to each exposed limb (one on the sleeve of both the left and right arm, and if wearing shorts, one on the left and right side of the shorts).

BuzzPatch is effective because it uses a specially crafted formulation of essential oils to overpower the carbon dioxide (CO2) we emit when we exhale, essentially hiding us from mosquitoes. The patches work by triggering receptors, which then sends messages from the nervous system to the limbic system – the system that controls behavior and emotions.

But does it really work? The answer is yes, no, maybe! BuzzPatch has been tested and proven to be effective by third-party organizations. In addition, the product has received over 300 trusted customer reviews, attesting to its effectiveness.

The no and maybe so applies to a few different people - this was our best seller in 2022 and 2023 and we had many parents raving about the experience, but we also had parents that it didn't work for. To be completely transparent it can work, but it might not. And if it doesn't, we encourage you try our bug repellants. 

BuzzPatch can last for up to 24 months when sealed and stored properly.

At Nest & Sprout, we believe in providing sustainable and natural solutions for parents, which is why we are proud to offer BuzzPatch as a safe and effective mosquito repellent option - especially for babies who really can't use any sprays for deterring bugs. Whether you're taking your kids on a camping trip, to the beach, or simply spending time outdoors, BuzzPatch has got you covered.
