The MosquitoPaQ GardenPaq No-Bite Outdoor Zone Pouch is a natural, DEET-free and non-toxic mosquito deterrent that is designed to draw mosquitos in and take their interest away from people and pets.
The product is packaged in a patented pouch that has two compartments for dry and liquid solutions. Until the product is ready to use, these products are separated by a seal, which can be broken to activate the mosquito repellent. Once the contents of the separated compartments blend, they form a carbon dioxide scent that "confounds the mosquito’s receptors that desire protein, so she returns to feed on nature’s nectar instead of people and pets."
The unique and environmentally friendly product is one of many on the market that features two separated components that remain inactive until combined by the consumer.
