About NATPAT
Where it began
One backyard. One very itchy problem.
In 2020, Michael Jankie’s little ones kept coming in from the backyard covered in mosquito bites. He talked it through with his longtime friend Gary Tramer. They wanted something easier for parents to use and more fun for children to wear. A citronella sticker became the first BuzzPatch prototype.
Michael and Gary built NATPAT with fellow dad Andrei Safonau. What began with mosquitoes has grown into a range of stick-on products for other everyday family moments. The idea behind it hasn’t changed: make the useful thing the thing kids actually want to use.
What we make
A patch for the moment you’re in.
Outside & after bites
BuzzPatch is our original mosquito-repellent sticker, designed to go on clothing. MagicPatch offers a different stick-on approach to the itch after a bite.
Everyday routines
SleepyPatch, ZenPatch and FocusPatch are made for bedtime, calming moments and focus routines. Each has its own ingredients, intended use and directions.
Pet family moments
Pet Zen brings the sticker format to pet owners, with directions made specifically for that product.
Meet Pet Zen →Why NATPAT
Made for real families, not perfect routines.
Easy to use
Small enough to take along and simple to add to the day. Check the instructions for the product you choose, then peel and place as directed.
Fun to wear
The designs invite children to take part. That matters when another spray, cream or complicated routine is the last thing anyone wants.
Made for the moment
A mosquito-filled afternoon isn’t the same as bedtime. We make distinct products for distinct situations, not one patch with a promise to do everything.
Nature-inspired
Essential-oil blends are central to our aromatic sticker range. We explain each product’s ingredients and directions so you can choose what fits your family.
Parent-founded
NATPAT began with our own kids and one very ordinary backyard. We still start with a real problem, then look for a simpler way through it.
Who it's for
For the people managing real-life moments.
Parents & caregivers
Looking for kid-friendly additions to outdoor time and everyday routines.
Families on the move
Packing for mosquito-heavy days, school trips, holidays and travel.
Routine builders
Creating a gentler-feeling bedtime, calming or focus routine.
Pet families
Exploring products designed specifically for their four-legged family members.
The people behind the patches
Three dads. One practical question.
Would this make family life easier?
Michael Jankie, Gary Tramer and Andrei Safonau started NATPAT as parents looking for a better everyday option for their own families. That parent-first perspective is still the simplest way to explain what we do.
