2. Q: Is BlocQ safe for children?

BlocQ provides up to 8 hours of continuous protection against mosquitoes. However, you may need to reapply sooner if you swim, sweat excessively, or wipe the applied area.
4. Q: Can I use BlocQ with sunscreen?
A: Yes, you can use BlocQ with sunscreen. We recommend applying sunscreen first, allowing it to absorb into your skin, then applying BlocQ over it. This ensures both products work effectively.
5. Q: Is BlocQ effective against all mosquito species?
A: BlocQ has been formulated to be effective against a wide range of mosquito species, including those that carry Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, and Malaria. Its efficacy has been proven in various climates and conditions across Europe and tropical regions.
6. Q: What are the active ingredients in BlocQ?
A: BlocQ's main active ingredient is DEET, which is widely recognized as one of the most effective mosquito repellents. The exact concentration and full ingredient list can be found on the product packaging.
7. Q: Can pregnant women use BlocQ?
A: Yes, BlocQ can be used by pregnant women. Its EPA approval indicates it's safe when used as directed. However, as with any product, we recommend pregnant women consult with their healthcare provider before use.
8. Q: How should I apply BlocQ for maximum effectiveness?
A: For best results, shake the bottle well before use. Roll the product onto exposed skin, avoiding face and hands. Use sparingly around ears. Wash your hands after application. Reapply after swimming, excessive sweating, or after 8 hours.
9. Q: Is BlocQ eco-friendly?
A: While BlocQ is formulated primarily for maximum effectiveness against mosquitoes, we are committed to minimizing environmental impact. The roll-on format reduces overspray and waste compared to aerosol repellents. We continually research ways to make our product more environmentally friendly without compromising its efficacy.
10. Q: Which specific diseases does BlocQ help prevent?
A: BlocQ is specifically formulated to repel mosquitoes that carry four major tropical diseases: Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, and Malaria. By effectively repelling the mosquito species that transmit these diseases, BlocQ plays a crucial role in disease prevention. It's particularly effective against Aedes mosquitoes (which spread Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika) and Anopheles mosquitoes (which transmit Malaria). However, it's important to note that while BlocQ significantly reduces the risk of mosquito bites, it should be used as part of a comprehensive approach to disease prevention, including other protective measures recommended by health authorities.
11. Q: Can I take BlocQ in my carry-on luggage when flying?
A: Yes, BlocQ's roll-on format is travel-friendly and complies with most airline restrictions for liquids in carry-on luggage. Each roll-on contains 50ml of product, which is within the typical 100ml limit for carry-on liquids. However, we always recommend checking with your specific airline for their most up-to-date regulations.
12. Q: What is BlocQ's refund policy?
A: BlocQ offers refunds only if the product is damaged in transit.

13. Q: How should I store BlocQ?
A: Store BlocQ in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Do not expose the product to extreme temperatures, as this may affect its efficacy.
14. Q: Can I use BlocQ on clothing?
A: While BlocQ is primarily designed for use on skin, it can be applied to clothing. However, be aware that it may stain some fabrics. We recommend testing on a small, inconspicuous area first. For best protection, apply directly to exposed skin.
15. Q: Is BlocQ water-resistant?
A: BlocQ offers some water resistance, but it's not completely waterproof. If you're swimming, sweating heavily, or in heavy rain, we recommend reapplying after drying off for continued protection.
