Welcome to the new ODSS! Better experience. Same mission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do they work and how?
Yes, tick stickers like these are effective in repelling ticks. They use natural essential oils like Geranium, Peppermint, Thyme and Cedarwood to create a scent barrier that confuses and keeps ticks away.
Are they safe?
Tick repellent stickers are crafted with plant-based essential oils and avoid harsh chemicals like DEET, offering a gentle option for both children and adults. * Not a safety claim
How do I place stickers to protect my whole child's body
Kids aged 0-2 need 1 patch: One patch placed centrally on clothes. Kids aged 3-5 need 2 patches: One patch on the top clothes (sweater, t-shirt) and one on the shorts. If itching is a concern, our itch patch can provide relief. For bug bite relief, check out our bug bite patches. Kids aged 6+ and parents need 2-4 patches: One patch on the clothing next to each exposed limb (one on the sleeve of both the left and right arm, and if wearing shorts, one on the left and right side of the shorts).
How long will the stickers last?
The bag has a ziplock. Put the unused patches into the bag and seal it. Tick repellent stickers when sealed will last up to 12 months. If you have a pack that is past its use by date, send a photo of the unopened pack to care@natpat.com and we'll send you a new one.
Where are these stickers made?
Patches are formulated and designed in Australia.

FOUNDED BY WOMEN. BUILT FOR ADVENTURE.

ODSS was started by mothers who saw firsthand how time outside builds resilient, confident kids. What began as helping outdoor schools equip students for all-weather learning grew into a bigger mission: Help families raise resilient, confident kids by making it easier for children to stay outside longer.

Ordering bulk with Outdoor School Shop was just as easy and seamless as I had hoped! As we open up a new program, preparing our first group of kiddos for any weather was at the top of our priority list, and ODSS came through with insight, expertise, and the coolest, most dependable gear around! Thank you ODSS!
