Description
Repels Insects
Insect Shield apparel is registered to repel mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers, and midges (no-see-ums). Insect Shield gear is registered to repel mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and flies.
Invisible and Odorless
Unlike other topical repellents like bug sprays, Insect Shield’s insect repellent treatment has no smell, leaves no sticky residue, and does not absorb into your skin. You can’t tell it’s there but the bugs can. (2005 BOIS Bio-Monitoring Study, Info Scientific Inc., Manassass, VA)
Tick and Mosquito Protection
Insect Shield helps protect against insects like mosquitoes and ticks that can carry dangerous diseases such as Lyme disease, West Nile, and malaria.
Long-Lasting
Insect Shield is tightly bonded to fabric fibers resulting in long-lasting repellency, expected to last the lifetime of the garment, up to 70 launderings for apparel and 25 for gear.
Kimberly H. Jackson –
I actually loved this at first it was amazing. It kept bugs away and I used it most everyday for the last 3 months. Now in the 4th month, it stopped working. I saw bugs unbothered by it crawling on the blanket and not repelling them. This is a great product but only lasts a few months. I suppose for the price its good. I am grateful that I did have it for the time. Remember do not expect long term use though. That was a little dissapointing.
