mosquito repellent
Anti-bite spray formula
Mosquito repellent is a substance applied to skin or clothing to discourage mosquitoes from biting.
Common forms include sprays, lotions, and candles.
The term also works as an adjective: mosquito-repellent bracelets.
Repellents don't kill mosquitoes—they mask human scent or create an unpleasant barrier that keeps the insects at a distance.
