School holidays are the perfect time to create lasting memories with your little ones. Whether you’re planning:
- A day exploring bustling markets like Mindil or Geelong,
- A camping trip under the stars,
- A backyard BBQ with friends,
- Or a cozy day indoors filled with crafts and games,
There are endless ways to keep the kids busy and entertained. But while you're focusing on fun, don’t forget to keep them protected from one holiday spoiler: mosquitoes.
Summer holidays mean more time outdoors—and more exposure to mosquitoes, midges, and sandflies. These pesky bugs can quickly turn your dream day into an itchy disaster.
To help you enjoy every moment bite-free, here are some ideas paired with simple solutions from Mozzigear.
1. Explore Local Markets
Markets like Mindil or Geelong are bursting with colours, delicious food, and unique treasures, making them ideal family outings. While you’re soaking in the lively atmosphere, it’s worth remembering that mosquitoes might also make an appearance, especially during the early evening hours.
To keep everyone comfortable, consider lightweight, wearable options like Mozzigear patches or Mozzigear bands that blend seamlessly into your day. Stick a patch on a tote bag or your kids’ clothes, and you’re ready to shop and snack without the buzz.
2. Camping Adventures
Camping is all about adventure, exploration, and bonding with nature. Kids love the excitement of sleeping under the stars—but sharing a tent with mosquitoes? Not so much.
Before settling in for the night, double-check your tent for any uninvited insect guests. For added peace of mind, consider using a battery-powered Mozzigear Ultrasonic Repeller. can help keep your campsite mosquito-free without relying on sprays or coils. It’s portable and doesn’t require constant connection to a power source, making it perfect for keeping your campsite mosquito-free without the hassle of sprays or coils.
3. Backyard Fun or Indoor Play Days
A backyard BBQ or pool day is a summer staple, but unpredictable weather or heatwaves can call for a shift indoors.
For outdoor fun, make sure the kids are protected with simple solutions that don’t interrupt their play. If the weather keeps you inside, plug in a GlowGuard to create a mosquito-free haven while the kids enjoy crafts, board games, or a movie marathon.
4. Adventures Near and Far
Whether you’re heading to the beach, hiking in a national park, or enjoying a picnic at your local park, outdoor adventures are holiday highlights. Unfortunately, these spots often attract mosquitoes.
For these outings, patches are a convenient on-the-go solution. Add a quick spray (Mozzigear Spray) for extra protection, and you’re set for hours of fun. Even if your day involves swimming, waterproof Mozzigear Bands ensure the kids stay protected without needing constant reapplication.
Even with the best preparation, an occasional mosquito bite can sneak through. Be ready with quick, effective after-bite solutions to keep irritation at bay:
- Click Away the Itch: Neutralise itching and reduce swelling with a few clicks.
- No-Itch Patches: Stick on a patch for instant relief and keep the fun going.
