An insect repellent device having a top section and a bottom section can be attached via a fastening mechanism near the facial area of a user. The top section and the bottom section are rotatably joined to form a single unit and an insect repellent compound is contained internally. A plurality of slits in each of the top section and the bottom section enable air to pass through the device and intermix with the insect repellent compound.

1. An insect repellent device comprising: a top section having a top and a first wall extending therefrom with a first outer surface and a first inner surface, the first wall having a plurality of first slits, wherein the plurality of first slits traverse the first outer surface and the first inner surface of the first wall;a bottom section having a bottom and a second wall with a second outer surface and a second inner surface, the second wall having a plurality of second slits, wherein the plurality of second slits traverse the second outer surface and the second inner surface of the bottom wall;an insect repellent compound, wherein the insect repellent compound is retained by a recess in an inner surface of the bottom section;a square locking mechanism disposed on the first inner surface of the top section, wherein the square locking mechanism protrudes perpendicularly inwards from the first inner surface;a grooved track shaped to receive the square locking mechanism disposed on at least a portion of the second outer surface of the bottom section;wherein the top section is rotatably coupled to the bottom section with the insect repellent compound contained therebetween. 2. The insect repellent device of claim 1 wherein the locking mechanism fits within the grooved track thereby rotatably coupling the top section to the bottom section. 3. The insect repellent device of claim 1 wherein a position of the bottom section in relation to a position of the top section changes the operative size of the first plurality of slits. 4. The insect repellent device of claim 3 wherein the position of the plurality of first slits and the position of the plurality of second slits such that any of the plurality of first slits may partially or wholly overlap any of the plurality of second slits. 5. The insect repellent device of claim 1 further comprising a fastening mechanism disposed on either the top section or the bottom section. 6. An insect repellent device for positioning near a facial region of a user comprising: a circular top section having a top circular wall with a first outer surface and a first inner surface, the top circular wall having a plurality of rectangular first slits disposed around a periphery of the top circular wall, wherein the plurality of rectangular first slits traverse the first outer surface and the first inner surface of the top circular wall, andwherein the first inner surface has a locking mechanism protruding perpendicularly inwards therefrom;a circular bottom section having a bottom circular wall with a second outer surface and a second inner surface, the bottom circular wall having a plurality of rectangular second slits disposed around a periphery of the bottom circular wall, wherein the plurality of rectangular second slits traverse the second outer surface and the second inner surface of the bottom circular wall, andwherein a grooved track is disposed on at least a part of the outer surface of the bottom section;an insect repellent compound, wherein the insect repellent compound is retained by a recess in an inner surface of the circular bottom section;a fastening mechanism coupled to either the circular top section or the circular bottom section; andwherein the top section is rotatably coupled to the bottom section with the insect repellent compound contained therebetween. 7. The insect repellent device of claim 6 wherein a diameter of the top section is larger than a diameter of the bottom section. 8. The insect repellent device of claim 6 wherein the fastening mechanism is a clip, magnet, snap, button, zipper, or any combination thereof. 9. An insect repellent device for positioning near a facial region of a user comprising: a circular top section with a circular top and a top circular wall, the top circular wall extending downwards therefrom and having a plurality of first slits and the circular top comprising a first solid, unbroken surface, wherein the plurality of first slits traverse a first outer surface and a first inner surface of the top circular wall, andwherein the first inner surface has a locking mechanism protruding inwards therefrom;a circular bottom section with a circular bottom and a bottom circular wall, the bottom circular wall extending upwards therefrom and having a plurality of second slits and the circular bottom comprising a second solid, unbroken surface, wherein the plurality of second slits traverse a second outer surface and a second inner surface of the bottom circular wall,wherein there is a grooved track disposed on at least a part of the outer surface of the bottom section, andwherein a recess is disposed in an inner surface of the circular bottom;an insect repellent compound, wherein the insect repellent compound is retained by the recess;a fastening mechanism coupled to either the circular top or the circular bottom; andwherein the top section is rotatably coupled to the bottom section forming a chamber with the insect repellent compound contained therein. 10. The insect repellent device of claim 9 wherein the top circular wall extends perpendicularly from the circular top. 11. The insect repellent device of claim 9 wherein the bottom circular wall extends perpendicularly from the circular bottom. 12. The insect repellent device of claim 9 wherein the insect repellent compound is held by a lip formed by the recess. 13. The insect repellent device of claim 9 wherein there is about three to about ten first slits and about three to about ten second slits. 14. The insect repellent device of claim 9 wherein the fastening mechanism is a clip having a first tab and a second tab, with at least one of the first tab and/or the second tab being coupled to the insect repellent device. 15. The insect repellent device of claim 9 wherein the insect repellent device is capable of being magnetically adhered to another object.
