Soft, lemony citronella scent that fades within hours.
Choosing a baby-safe mosquito patch
When you're protecting a baby from mosquitoes, the safest, most parent-friendly option is a DEET-free mosquito patch for babies. The patch is stuck onto fabric — not skin — so the active citronella oil works in the air around your child rather than on them.
Where to stick a baby mosquito patch
Place patches on the pram hood, the baby grow chest, sleeves, socks or the cot rail. For outdoor naps in the garden, sticking one onto the muslin draped over the pram works brilliantly.
Are mosquito patches safe for babies?
DEET-free patches are widely considered baby-friendly because the active ingredient stays on the fabric. Always check the age recommendation on the pack — most citronella patches are suitable from 6 months when used on clothing or gear. If your baby has very sensitive skin, do a small fabric test first.
For night-time and naps
Stick a patch onto the corner of a bed sheet, the side of the cot, or the hood of a pram during outdoor naps. The slow-release scent gives 8–12 hours of protection — perfect for an entire night or daytime sleep routine.
For UK gardens and holidays abroad
UK summer evenings around lakes, ponds and BBQ areas are prime mosquito time. For families travelling to the Mediterranean or tropical destinations, patches are an essential addition to your baby travel kit — flat, light, TSA-friendly.
What to avoid
- Don't stick the patch directly onto baby's skin.
