Alright, let’s talk about them skeeter stickers, the ones they say keep them bitin’ bugs away. You know, the little critters that make you itch like crazy all summer long.
I heard some folks sayin’ them skeeter sprays and stuff, well, they ain’t always good for ya. They can make your skin all red and itchy, give you a headache, and some even say they make it hard to think straight! Imagine that, can’t even think straight ’cause you’re tryin’ to keep them skeeters off ya. And if you get that stuff on your lips, oh honey, it’ll burn like fire! Lord help you if you swallow it, that’s poison, they say.
So, these stickers, they seem like a better idea, right? No messy sprays, no stinkin’ lotions. Just slap ’em on and go about your day. But do they work? That’s what we all wanna know.
- What are these patches made of? Well, some of ’em, they say they got natural stuff in ’em, like that citronella, lemon grass, and eucalyptus. Sounds fancy, huh? But I guess it’s just plants, stuff that grows right outta the ground. They say these plants keep the skeeters away, kinda like how catnip drives cats crazy.
- How do you use ’em? Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! You just peel ’em off the paper and stick ’em on your clothes, or maybe on your hat or somethin’. They say don’t stick ’em right on your skin, though. Probably ’cause that glue might make you itchy too. I ain’t takin’ any chances, not with my sensitive skin.
Now, I ain’t no scientist, but I reckon these stickers work by smellin’ bad… to the skeeters, that is. Them plants got that strong smell, and the skeeters, they don’t like it. So, they fly away and find someone else to bother. Smart little critters, they are, even if they are a pain in the behind.
But here’s the thing, not all stickers are made the same. Some work better than others, that’s for sure. I heard some folks complainin’ that the stickers they bought didn’t do nothin’. Said they got bit just as much as if they weren’t wearin’ nothin’ at all. And that’s a waste of good money, ain’t it? You work hard for your money, you don’t want to be throwin’ it away on somethin’ that don’t work.
So, how do you pick the good ones? Well, I reckon you gotta read the labels, see what’s in ’em. Look for them natural oils, the citronella and all that. And maybe read some reviews, see what other folks are sayin’. If a lot of people say they work, then they probably do. And if a lot of people say they don’t work, well, then you best stay away.
Another thing to think about is where you’re gonna be wearin’ ’em. If you’re just sittin’ on your porch, one or two stickers might be enough. But if you’re goin’ out in the woods, or fishin’ by the creek, you might need a whole bunch of ’em. Them skeeters, they’re everywhere out there, waitin’ to get ya. And don’t forget to put ’em on your kids too. Them little ones, they’re skeeter magnets, I tell ya.
Now, I heard some folks sayin’ these stickers are expensive. And yeah, they might cost a bit more than them cheap sprays. But think about it, you ain’t breathin’ in no nasty chemicals, and you ain’t rubbin’ nothin’ on your skin that might make you itch. Plus, if they work, they’re worth every penny, ain’t they? Nothin’ worse than spendin’ a whole summer scratchin’ at skeeter bites.
One more thing, don’t expect these stickers to be magic. They ain’t gonna keep every single skeeter away, no matter how many you put on. But they should help, they should make it so you don’t get bit quite so much. And that’s a good thing in my book.
So, there you have it, my two cents on them skeeter stickers. They ain’t perfect, but they’re better than nothin’, I reckon. Just make sure you get the good ones, with the natural stuff in ‘em. And don’t forget to put ‘em on your clothes, not your skin. You do that, and you might just have a skeeter-free summer. And wouldn’t that be somethin’?
