Bug Soother Wipes are designed for low-to-moderate insect pressure, using an aqueous emulsion of Lemongrass oil. Unlike many alcohol-based wipes, these use a glycerin-rich base intended to slow the evaporation of the essential oils, which helps extend the aromatic window of protection. The non-woven polyester fabric is built to be durable enough for application on denim or even pet fur without shredding.
Because the formula relies on scent masking rather than neurotoxic blockers, reapplication is generally required every 45 to 60 minutes. The 15-count resealable pouch features a multi-layer foil laminate that is specifically engineered to prevent the essential oils from "bleeding" through the plastic. However, the adhesive seal can lose its effectiveness if it gets contaminated with sand or grit, so careful storage is recommended.
- The formula is pH-balanced for use on pets to avoid skin irritation.
- Leaves a non-greasy finish that won't stain synthetic fabrics like nylon.
- Particularly effective against gnats and black flies.
If you need a natural solution with a different scent profile, the Buzz Away Extreme towelettes offer a blend that includes citronella and cedarwood.
Small repellent packs like this are easily organized in drawer boxes with flip lids to keep your entryway clutter-free.
