Kite Shield’s patent-pending formula works by targeting mosquitoes’ sensing receptors - the part of the insect that guides them towards a food source. Our synergistic blend of botanical active ingredients confuses the receptors and creates a barrier on the skin. All you have to do is spray Kite Shield on your skin and the mosquito-blocking shield of protection goes to work. Kite Shield makes you virtually invisible - if they can’t find you, they can’t bite you! Kite Shield has not been registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It qualifies for exemption from registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). *Up to 4 hours protection against Culex quinquefasciatus, up to 2 hours against Aedes aegypti and up to 90 minutes against Anopheles quadrimaculatus mosquitoes. This product cannot be shipped to the states of South Dakota and Connecticut.
