    21 Reviewer-Loved Must Haves For Enjoying A Bug Bite-Free Summer

    Reviewers are ~buzzing~ about these genius repellents that'll stop the insect population from ~bugging~ you this summer.

    1. A flameless mosquito repellent if you're the person covered in approximately two million mosquito bites the second summer hits. Skip the sticky bug sprays and get this scent-free patio repellent that creates a 15-foot no-mosquito zone.

    2. A 10-pack of essential oil-infused bracelets to stop you from turning into a giant canvas of bug bites. The colorful bracelets come individually packed and thousands of reviewers say they actually work.

    3. A magnetic screen door so you can open your windows without extending an invitation to the entire bug population. This Amazon-beloved heavy-duty mesh door comes with 48,000+ perfect ratings and since the opening is magnetic, it doubles as a handy doggy door, too!

    4. A bug zapper racket that's basically a 21st-century version of an old-school fly swatter. And you guessed it, it does exactly what the name suggests and zaps them pesky mosquitoes dead.

    5. A mosquito-repellent candle so you can actually enjoy sitting outside instead of spending the entire time swatting the bugs away. It's made from soy and beeswax and infused with peppermint, lemongrass, rosemary, and citronella oils so it also smells delightful and doesn't fill the air with nasty chemicals.

    6. A plug-in bug trapper — it attracts mosquitoes and other bugs while doubling as a night-light. Just plug it in and the glue card will do its magic to lure and trap the insects.

    7. A plant-based spray made with lemon and eucalyptus oils, so not only does it repel mosquitoes and ticks for up to six hours, it also smells amazing.

    8. A 50-pack of incense sticks that are DEET-free, have over 3,000 5-star reviews, and are the perfect way to add a pleasant scent and a little ambience to your outdoor space.

    9. An electronic bug zapper so you can enjoy an al fresco dinner without a side of buzzing mosquitoes and relentless gnats.

    10. A hammock with a mesh net that'll keep the creepy crawlers out while you take a well-deserved nap in the great outdoors. The breathable net keeps the interior ventilated and when it's not mosquito season, simply take it off and use the hammock without it.

    11. A 78-pack of mosquito patches aka a great option for kids, because what five year old doesn't love stickers?! Best of all, they're made from plant-based ingredients and can be stuck on everything from clothes and tables to backpacks and strollers.

    12. A 50-pack of all-natural repellent wipes you can easily throw in a backpack and take with you on a hike or camping trip since they conveniently come individually packaged.

    13. An anti-bug balm reviewers are ~buzzing~ about and many call the "best" mosquito repellent. The reviewer below even wrote that since they've been using this balm, they haven't been bitten or even seen a mosquito around them. Byeeee, annoying bug bites. 👋🏼

    14. A four-pack of glass table torches for a cute decorative touch and protection from swarms of flying insects. Just add some citronella and the tabletop torches will keep the pests at bay and your arms bite-free.

    15. A roll-on gel that's small enough to keep in your bag so you can quickly whip it out when you hear that annoyingly familiar buzzing noise. Roll it on your wrists, ankles, and other exposed areas and it'll create a protective barrier for up to five hours.

    16. A four-pack of mosquito repellent tubes you can hang from a tree branch or fence and protect an entire acre, which if you live in the city, is basically like thousands of people you're about to save from bug bites.

    17. A mosquito head net that works so well to protect you from gnats, mosquitoes, and other pests, don't be surprised if it becomes part of your daily OOTD.

    18. A 24-pack of sticky traps you can use inside and outside since they're scent-free and nontoxic. They come in adorable bird and butterfly shapes and you can stick them in a flower pot, let them do their thing, then dispose of them as needed.

    19. A four-pack of mosquito repellent coils you'll want a million of. One reviewer said they keep a stack of on hand all summer long, that's how effective they are.

    20. A four-pack of metal garden torches that'll keep uninvited guests from gracing your backyard BBQ with their presence. They come in three colors and have a cool modern design that'll instantly elevate your outdoor space.

    21. And a Bug Bite Thing suction tool because even if you take all the possible preventative measures, sometimes bites still happen. This reviewer-favorite works well to ease the itchiness and discomfort, so you can get right back to living your best summer life.
