Insects Bugging You? Look No Further Than, Stinger!

The Stinger® Advantage:

Mosquito Defense. Everyday. All Season Long.
Stinger Insect Killers are affordable, effective solutions that should be a part of an overall protection plan against flying insects.

Scientific testing that you can trust:

Stinger insect control devices are put through extensive scientific field testing to prove that they provide the coverage and levels of effectiveness stated on their packages. Anyone can slap a big sticker that doesn't mean anything on a package, but Stinger products use testing from trustworthy scientists to make sure that the statements on their packages are actually true.

The power to kill them the first time:

Stinger insect control devices use powerful killing grids. Stinger zappers use transformer technology on 1 acre+ models to provide the strong, continuous zapping that is necessary for effective killing. This isn't the same old wimpy zap that bugs are used to.
Intelligent features that you'll appreciate like…

EnergySmart™ settings to save money on your energy bills:

Some models feature a Sundown Sensor that automatically turns the zapper ON at dusk and OFF at dawn, thereby saving you money on your energy bills when used.

Killing grids that don't stop working because they're clogged:

The new line of Stinger insect control devices use a new clog-resistant single kill grid design, which effectively reduces the clogging you might experience on similar models. Clogs are zapped bugs that become stuck in the grid. They can compromise the performance of a bug zapper or cause it to malfunction entirely.

Features that grab the attention of biting mosquitoes and flies:

The NØsquito by Stinger® octenol lure contains 5X more octenol than most competitive models. Octenol has been proven to attract biting mosquitoes and flies.

Designs that have your safety in mind:

The new line of Stinger bug zappers has an outer enclosure to prevent children, pets, or birds and wildlife from coming into contact with the electric grid.

Designs that are smarter and cleaner:

The new Stinger bug zappers have larger openings at the bottom of the unit. This easily allows dead insects to fall through after they've been zapped.


Designs that will grab your attention:

The new Stinger bug zapper designs draw their inspiration from nature. They have been designed to look like they belong in your yard. Bug zappers don't have to have an industrial feel. In fact, there's no need to sacrifice style or elegance to have the comfortable yard that you desire.

My Thoughts:

I am a huge fan of the products from, Stinger! As someone who is incredibly allergic to mosquito bites, I adore having these products around for assistance. Stinger sent me two more of their ground breaking inventions to prevent those pesky mosquitos and other insects from "bugging" my family this season.

Stinger On-the-Go Bug Zapper Racket:

This is your ideal handheld bug zapper! With 2,000 volts of zapping power, no bugs will want to come near you with this device! Stinger makes this zapper racket safe by only activating the zap when you push the button up. There is also a LED light you can turn on at night as well, and a wrist strap included. The On-the-Go racket will kill on contact, is lightweight, easy to store, and perfect for any type of bug you need to get rid of. The head is wide enough to catch flying insects right away. Take this on your hikes, outdoor adventures, BBQs, or keep it inside your home for bug prevention all year long! It requires two "AA" batteries for use.

Stinger Mosquito Repellent Lantern:

Passing by this little beauty, your first thought would probably not be "mosquito repellent", but this baby packs a serious punch! An adorable light up accent to for your backyard or camping scenery, this Stinger Lantern can cover 225 sq. ft (a 15x15 area). Inside is a completely deet free repellent pad which is safe to have around pets and children. The active ingredients are plant-based and all-natural. The run time is a minimum of 12 hours, and I found it certainly did last that long! Another unique feature is that this product uses fan dispersion technology. This means the scent is delivered quickly without the use of heat or smoke. For use you will need 4 "AA" batteries.

If you are looking for a safe, reliable, and affordable way to control insect intruders, I highly recommend giving Stinger a try! These are my go to products and I could not be happier with the results!

Summer Must-Have for Keeping the Family Safe While Outdoors.

With summer upon us, and Zika virus still top of mind, we need to think about protecting our skin (and our kids) from mosquitos and other insects, especially when taking part in outdoor activities like camping, hiking, BBQ's, pool time and much more.  US Organic offers an anti-bug spray that is safe for the whole family.  They also offer an indoor bug spray that can be used on pillows, blankets, tents and much more. 

U.S. Organic’s Anti Bug Spray is one of the leading bug repellent brands on the market:

•        Certified Organic by USDA                                

•        Kid Safe

•        DEET Free

•        Does not contain synthetic chemicals or alcohol

•        Made in the USA and not tested on animals

•        Offers long-lasting protection from mosquitoes carrying Zika virus, Dengue virus and West Nile virus diseases

•        Refreshing herbal scented fine mist spray that isn’t sticky

•        Comes in 2 sizes, 4 fluid ounces and 2 fluid ounces (approved for airplane travel)

•        Indoor option perfect for pillows, blankets, tents and more.

My Thoughts:

I have been looking for an effective and long lasting bug spray for quite some time. I have gotten bitten up terribly by mosquitoes the last few summers. Already having allergies, my bites would swell up so badly and the itch would be horrible. This summer, I have been dedicated to finding a product that works for me.

I have to say, U.S. Organic's Anti Bug Spray options truly impressed me. The oils are organic, the product is not sticky on skin, and the bottle sprays a fair amount each time. The smell of both the indoor and outdoor forumlas is strong, but it begins to wear off quickly. I liked to spray it outside, rub the product in, and then go about my night. So far, I have hardly been bitten at all when I wear this. The staying power is fantastic too. I spent quite a few hours outdoors this week and have had no troubles. Being someone who loves being outdoors, especially during the warmer months, this is a blessing! Plus, it is safe to use on children and DEET free as well, making it even better! 

The kit that I received came with an indoor, outdoor, and travel sized outdoor formula. I have never seen an indoor formula before which really intrigued me. I like to use that on any sort of indoor furniture that I often take outside. The travel sized portion has been in my purse and works just as well as the full sized choice. All the products are lightweight and easy to use. I would highly recommend it!

My Thoughts:

I love being outdoors in the summer, but one 8 pm rolls around the mosquitoes are ready to attack. It puts such a damper on the evenings you just want to be outside enjoying the weather, the food, and play time. I loved this Stinger Insect Zapper Lantern for many reasons. The portability aspect of it makes it simple to carry into whatever area of the yard you and your family need to be in. The lantern is not at all heavy and is sturdy enough to place anywhere. It has a great run time as well. The lantern is easy to recharge, making it easy ti use again the next night. The zapper is inside the device, so it is safe to have near you as you move it around outside. I usually place it on my deck at night. Right when I take it out, the mosquitoes start to not only go into the zapper, but disappear all together. When it zaps, it isn't playing around! You can see and hear it. However, the zaps are not overly noisy. It won't disrupt you from enjoying your summer nights outdoors. The color is also a nice addition. It looks very beautiful lit up!   

This is an ideal product for anyone who loves being outside, camping, having evening BBQs with loved ones, nightly swims in the pool, or simply spending time outdoors with your favorite people. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an easier way to get rid of those pesky mosquitoes!

BugBand also makes a naturally derived bed bug pesticide, BedBugs No More!, in a 3-ounce travel bottle, which is perfect for hotel rooms.

Our Thoughts

These are great! Better yet, they smell fabulous! I grew up with the scent of Skin So Soft and it is definitely not my favorite scent at all. I do not like using products and chemicals so when I saw that this was a natural alternative I jumped right on it. Living on 16 acres, we have a ton of all the insects such as mosquitoes, flies, gnats, and ticks (no fleas yet, thank goodness)!

My youngest daughter is especially sensitive to tick bites, she feels then they bite her! It is so easy to just slip on these bracelets for the girls. For one, they are girls and love bracelets lol, and secondly it's beneficial for them outside! I no longer have to worry about them being irritated by the most annoying insects in the world.
