GLOBAL MARKET

TOP FACTORS IMPACTING THE MOSQUITO REPELLENT MARKET

Rise in global temperature

The world is getting warmer. Temperature increase and other conditions create more mosquito-friendly habitats. A longer warm-weather season allows mosquitoes to thrive for longer periods and to simultaneously move into broader habitats.

Increase in public awareness

Governements, NGOs and mosquito repellent specialists participate into improving the level of awareness amongst the populations in rural and urban areas worldwide. This awareness increase encourages the development of new mosquito repellent products that fit seamlessly into people’s lives.

Rising mosquito borne diseases

In recent years the demand for mosquito repellents has been amplified due to rising concerns about mosquito borne diseases, such as Malaria and dengue fevers, West Nile, chikungunya and zika virus. The recent zika outbreak caused by bite of Aedes mosquito has spread across the Africa, Asia and the Americas.

Rise in demand of plant-based repellents

Chemical substances present in the mosquito repellents such as DEET may cause skin rashes, breathing problems and other health hazards. Consumers have begun to switch their preferences toward plant-based mosquito repellents such as PARA’KITO®. The change in the preference towards plant-based mosquito repellent is fueling the growth of the global market.

ABOUT MOSQUITOES GENERAL INFORMATION

Mosquitoes are common flying insects that constitute the family Culicidae. They are found around the world and measure an average of 1/8 to 3/4 in. There are about 170 different mosquito species in North America alone. Only the female mosquitoes bite as they need proteins to produce eggs. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water or soft soil and feed on the blood of various kinds of hosts, mainly vertebrates, including mammals, birds, reptiles and humans.

PROBOSCIS

The mosquito mouthpart is used to pierce the skin and suck blood. It is also used to drink fluids rich in dissolved sugar, such as nectar and honeydew.

ANTENNAE

Their antennae contain sensitive receptors helping them detect carbon dioxide in human breath from distances of up to 100 feet.

FAST FACTS Size: 1/8 to 3/4 in (0.3 to 2 cm) Weight: Average of 0.000088 oz (2.5 mg) Speed: Flying at about 1 to 1.5 miles per hour Flight Range: From 1 to 3 miles Life Span: From 2 weeks to 6 months

LIFE CYCLE Adult

EYES Culex pipiens

Mosquitoes can see us from a distance of approximately 15 feet away. They are attracted by dark and bright colors.

Research & Development AT THE HEART OF THE PARA’KITO® STORY Our scientific team consists of biochemists, specializing in health & environmental issues and passionate about biomimicry. This mix of expertise and values is the key success factor for true innovations. Inspired by some plants and flowers that exhale their scents in a steady and continuous way, the DiffuControl-System technology regulates the volatility of the essential oils infused in the PARA’KITO® pellets, enabling their sustained release and continuous diffusion 24 hours a day, therefore effectively masking our presence to mosquitoes by interfering with their sense of smell.

« INNOVATION SOMETIMES RESULTS FROM OBSERVATION AND BIOCHEMICAL UNDERSTANDING OF NATURAL PHENOMENONS OR PHYSIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS, WHICH INSPIRE US AND WE TRY TO TECHNICALLY REPLICATE AND OPTIMIZE. » Nicolas Vidal (Engineer in R&D / Biochemistry / Environmental Innovation)

MASKING EFFECT ESSENTIAL OILS DIFFUSION

Did you know mosquitoes are guided by the carbon dioxide we humans exhale? A mosquito sense of smell operates at long distances, picking up scents more than 100 feet away. To effectively reduce your mosquito-appeal, the PARAâ€™KITOÂŽ pellets, which are inserted in the wristbands, diffuse a blend of essential oils specifically developed to mask human smell. The DiffuControl-System technology regulates the volatility of these natural essential oils, enabling their sustained diffusion 24 hours a day, up to 15 consecutive days per pellet. This unique diffusion system is waterproof and remains perfectly efficient even after repeated swimming sessions. With no skin contact, this mosquito protection is particularly adapted to children, pregnant women and people with sensitive skin.

This super-smart gel works both as a shield and a mask. Applied directly onto exposed areas of skin — such as the ankles, wrists and neck — it immediately forms a physical shield between you and the mosquito. As the natural oils’ active ingredients are released into the air around you, they also help to mask the scents of your breath and body, making it harder for mosquitoes to find you in the first place. Clever? We think so.
