Mosquito repellent bracelets work on the principle of emitting volatile compounds that function to create a barrier around the user. These compounds, which in most instances come from either natural or synthetic sources interfere with the capability of the mosquito to detect the carbon dioxide and human body odors, thus masking the presence of the user. The effectiveness of these bracelets is mainly determined by the type of repellent applied, the concentration of active ingredients, and environmental factors.
