Where to pack MosquitoNoBite, and why
The places with the most mosquitoes are the places people most want to be outside. Here is where MosquitoNoBite goes, and why a once-a-day capsule is an easier thing to bring.
A Gulf Coast crawfish boil. A night market in Chiang Mai. A beach week in the Caribbean. Some of the best outdoor time on earth happens where mosquitoes are thick, and nobody wants to spend it reaching for a bottle. This guide maps where MosquitoNoBite goes, and explains why a once-a-day capsule is an easier thing to pack than a spray you have to keep reapplying.
MosquitoNoBite Daily Defense Capsules
A natural, organic, vegan once-a-day capsule. Nothing to spray, nothing to rub in, nothing to reapply.
Where the warm places are
Mosquito activity is a warm-weather story. Aedes mosquitoes, which spread dengue (source: CDC Travelers' Health: Dengue, opens in a new tab), Zika (source: CDC Travelers' Health: Zika, opens in a new tab) and chikungunya (source: CDC Travelers' Health: Chikungunya, opens in a new tab), range across the tropics and subtropics and into parts of the southern United States, according to CDC's range map (source: CDC: Potential Range of Aedes Mosquitoes, opens in a new tab). The orange areas on the globes below show where those warmer regions sit.
Where MosquitoNoBite goes
The Gulf Coast and the South
Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. West Nile (source: CDC: About West Nile, opens in a new tab) is the leading mosquito-borne disease in the contiguous U.S., and floodwater mosquitoes hatch in force after heavy rain.

Night markets, temple days and green-season trips. Dengue (source: CDC Travelers' Health: Dengue, opens in a new tab) is present in both, and CDC (source: CDC Travelers' Health, opens in a new tab) has a Zika (source: CDC Travelers' Health: Zika, opens in a new tab) notice naming Bali.

Guide in progressWhy a once-a-day capsule fits
Nothing to reapply
Sprays and lotions tell you to reapply right on the label, and it's easy to forget on a busy day. A capsule takes that off your list.
No liquid limits at the airport
The TSA 3-1-1 rule (source: TSA: 3-1-1 liquids rule, opens in a new tab) caps carry-on liquids at 3.4 ounces each. A capsule bottle is not a liquid.
Nothing on your skin
No lotion residue on your hands while you cook, fish, or hold a sleeping child.
One small bottle
A single small bottle replaces a bag of tubes and cans in your pack.
Fits a daily routine
Take it in the morning like any other supplement, then forget it and enjoy the day.
Natural, organic, vegan
Made from natural, organic, vegan ingredients, with no DEET (source: U.S. EPA: Find the Insect Repellent That Is Right for You, opens in a new tab) and no picaridin (source: U.S. EPA: Find the Insect Repellent That Is Right for You, opens in a new tab), backed by our Empty-Bottle Guarantee.
Where you will use it
The backyard boil
Hands full of corn and crawfish, tables set under the trees. This is exactly when nobody wants to stop and spray.
The dawn fishing pier
Bait, rods, coffee and a cooler. The fewer things in the tackle box, the better.
Evenings on the porch
String lights, cold drinks and a long conversation that should not end at dusk.
Night markets abroad
Street food, lanterns and crowded lanes, with a passport and a short packing list.
The routines, side by side
This compares the day-to-day routine of each approach, not how well each one works.

CDC (source: CDC Travelers' Health, opens in a new tab) recommends EPA (source: U.S. EPA: Find the Insect Repellent That Is Right for You, opens in a new tab)-registered repellents, permethrin (source: CDC Travelers' Health: Avoid Bug Bites, opens in a new tab)-treated clothing and screened or air-conditioned rooms for preventing bites, and says the effectiveness of non-EPA (source: U.S. EPA: Find the Insect Repellent That Is Right for You, opens in a new tab)-registered repellents is unknown. Oral supplements are not on CDC (source: CDC Travelers' Health, opens in a new tab)'s list of recommended measures. Ask a travel-health provider what fits your trip.
