TIKI® Brand Introduces BiteFighter® Plug & Repel™, An Easier Way to Enjoy Outdoor Spaces Without Mosquitoes
Company expands its lineup with a product designed to deliver mosquito repellency with your existing outdoor string lights.
MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis., Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Outdoor living continues to play a bigger role in how people gather, entertain and unwind, bringing friends and family together around shared meals and conversations that stretch into the night. Today, TIKI Brand, a leader in outdoor entertaining and mosquito repellency solutions, announced the launch of TIKI Brand BiteFighter Plug & Repel, a new mosquito repellency system designed to work with existing outdoor string lights.
With more than 60 million U.S. households already using outdoor string lights to shape their outdoor spaces, Plug & Repel builds on something people already rely on and expands its purpose. By replacing a single E26 bulb in a standard set of string lights, the system transforms familiar lighting into a discreet mosquito protection solution that uses established and effective repellency and works without sprays, lotions or bulky devices.
"Plug & Repel adds mosquito protection to outdoor spaces without asking people to rearrange how they gather, eat or spend time together," said Sam Reimesch, senior product manager at TIKI Brand. "We focused on making that protection affordable and easy to add, so it integrates into setups people already have and feels intentional, not intrusive."
Once activated, Plug & Repel creates an invisible, odor-free zone of mosquito protection covering up to 110 square feet, with the ability to add additional units to the same set of string lights every 12 feet to create new zones and extend coverage across larger spaces as needed. Designed to work as part of an outdoor lighting configuration, the system turns on with a remote and requires minimal interaction after initial setup, with affordable refill pods replaced periodically throughout the season, keeping ongoing use simple and budget-friendly.
"This is a system designed around real outdoor behavior," Reimesch added. "It lets people spend less time thinking about mosquito repellents and more time enjoying their outdoor spaces, knowing protection is already in place."
Key Benefits Include:
- Easy Integration: Replaces a bulb within existing sets of string lights, with no sprays or yard treatments required
- Effective Protection: Invisible, odor-free mosquito barrier covering up to 110 square feet
- Low Maintenance: Streamlined setup with only periodic pod replacement required
- Affordable Solution: The Plug & Repel device is priced at $24.99 and includes a 12-hour pod
- Replacements: Refill pods lasting up to 48 hours are available for $9.99
With Plug & Repel, mosquito protection becomes part of the existing backyard setup rather than another product to manage, allowing people to stay present and enjoy the moments they create outside without distraction.
Plug & Repel is now available at major retailers nationwide, including Lowe's, Target and Amazon, offering a new way to enjoy outdoor spaces with fewer interruptions from mosquitoes as the summer months approach.
