The Surprising Trick Seasoned Hikers Use to Outsmart Mosquitoes
Mike Thompson, 52, an avid hiker with over 20 years of trail experience, never imagined a tiny pest could derail his passion for the great outdoors. But one fateful hike in the Appalachian Mountains nearly cost him everything he loved about nature.
"It was supposed to be a routine weekend trek," Mike recalls, his voice tinged with emotion. "I'd done this trail dozens of times. But this time was different."
Halfway through his hike, Mike noticed an unusual number of mosquitoes swarming around him. Despite generously coating himself with his trusted bug spray, the relentless insects seemed undeterred. By the end of the day, Mike was covered in itchy, painful bites.
"I've never experienced anything like it," he says, shaking his head. "The discomfort was bad enough, but the real fear set in when I developed a fever the next day."
Concerned about mosquito-borne diseases, Mike visited his doctor. Fortunately, it was just a reaction to the numerous bites. But the incident left him shaken."I realized how vulnerable I was," Mike admits. "The thought of giving up hiking – my lifelong passion – was devastating."
Determined to find a solution, Mike tried everything: stronger sprays, special clothing, even electronic repellents. "Nothing worked consistently," he sighs. "And the harsh chemicals in some products made me worry about long-term health effects."
Just when Mike was about to hang up his hiking boots for good, a chance encounter changed everything.
During a local hiking club meeting, Mike noticed his friend Sarah seemed completely unbothered by mosquitoes despite the warm evening.
"What's your secret?" he asked, intrigued.
Sarah smiled and pointed to a small, green sticker on her shirt. "These little things are game-changers," she said. "They're called Squito Stickers. No mess, no smell, and they actually work!"
Skeptical but desperate, Mike decided to give them a try on his next hike.
"I couldn't believe the difference," he says, eyes wide with amazement. "For the first time in months, I enjoyed a hike without a single mosquito bite. It felt like I'd rediscovered my love for the outdoors!"
The plant-powered patch that's revolutionizing outdoor protection
BugMD Squito Stickers are innovative, plant-based mosquito repellent patches that provide up to 72 hours of protection. Using breakthrough "nano-capsule" technology, these stickers release a steady stream of all-natural Citronella vapor, effectively creating a mosquito-free zone around you.

Easy to use: Simply peel and stick to clothing, gear, or nearby surfaces
Long-lasting: One sticker provides protection for up to 3 days
Mess-free: No more sticky sprays or oily lotions
Safe: Made with natural ingredients, free from harsh chemicals like DEET
Versatile: Effective for various outdoor activities, not just hiking
The secret behind Squito Stickers' effectiveness
A recent study at Oregon State University revealed that Citronella, the active ingredient in Squito Stickers, actually blocks mosquitoes' sense of smell. This makes it nearly impossible for them to detect human presence, effectively rendering you "invisible" to these pesky insects.
With Over 23,719 Squito Stickers sold and countless trails conquered, the hiking community is buzzing...
I’ve read thousands of positive reviews raving about BugMD Squito Stickers, but in order to truly believe it, I had to test it for ourselves. So, I ordered a bunch of BugMd Squito Stickers (which arrived at our door 3 days later) and started conducting tests everyday.
DAY 1
I decided to put Squito Stickers to the test on a day hike in a notoriously mosquito-infested area. I placed stickers on my hat, backpack, and shirt sleeves before heading out. The trail was humid and prime mosquito territory. Normally, I'd be swatting constantly, but to my surprise, I didn't notice a single mosquito around me.
Result: After a 4-hour hike, I checked my arms and legs. Not a single bite! I was amazed at how effective these little stickers were in keeping the mosquitoes away.
DAY 2
For my next test, I wanted to see how Squito Stickers would hold up on a camping trip. I stuck them on my tent, camping chair, and clothing. I even put one on my dog's collar (making sure it was out of reach). The campsite was near a lake, usually a haven for mosquitoes.
Result: Throughout the evening and night, my camping buddies were constantly complaining about mosquitoes, but I remained bite-free. Even more impressive, the stickers I applied in the morning were still working effectively the next day.
DAY 3
Finally, I decided to test Squito Stickers during a group hike. I shared some stickers with my fellow hikers who were skeptical but willing to try. We ventured into a densely forested area known for its mosquito population. Within minutes of starting our hike, we noticed the difference.
Those without the stickers were swatting away while the rest of us hiked comfortably.
Result: By the end of our 6-hour trek, the difference was clear. Those using Squito Stickers had little to no bites, while others were covered. My hiking buddies were so impressed, they all asked where they could buy their own Squito Stickers!
MY FINAL THOUGHTS
As a hiker who nearly gave up his passion due to mosquito troubles, I can't recommend Squito Stickers enough. They've allowed me to reclaim my love for the outdoors without compromising on safety or comfort. If you're tired of letting mosquitoes dictate your hiking experience, you owe it to yourself to try Squito Stickers.
