3 — How Bug Beast Works (The 3-Step Science)
- Micro-Mist Application — Ultra-fine sprayer lays down an invisible film on hard surfaces.
- Volatile Oil Vapor Zone — Citronella, cedarwood, and lemongrass oils evaporate, forming a “scent fence.”
- Olfactory Overload — Mosquito sensory organs misfire, steering them away for up to 6 hours*.
*Field-tested on Texas summer evenings; actual duration varies with wind and humidity.
