“I won't go on another backpacking trip without treated clothes ever again.
Normally, I am a mosquito's favorite flavor and I am quickly covered in bites.
Wearing treated clothes was like wearing a protective forcefield and watching swarms of mosquitos circle me but never land. "TAKE THAT YOU SLIMY B@ST@RDS!"
I cannot sing the praises of Insect Shield enough!
*Disclaimer: to set review readers' expectations - I did get 4 mosquito bites this year. Two of which were through the treated clothing, and two were on my hands.
In years prior to the discovery of Insect Shield, I would be unable to count the number of mosquito bites in one day, let alone the whole trip.
Also, I rarely see ticks on the West Coast but I know they're becoming more of a concern, seeing how effective Insect Shield is with mosquitos gives me peace of mind about harmful ticks.
And I can't forget to mention A+++ customer service.
Thank you, Insect Shield!”
“Do purchase and use services and products. It's worth it. I bought a jacket and had a shirt treated. What baffles me, though, is having a $9.00 charge to treat a personally owned shirt, (fine) but then having an $8+ fee for shipping back to me my own treated shirt through the U.S. Postal Service, no less! Good stuff, good work, anticipate effective use, but shipping in this case was more than a tad outrageous.”
“As they state, this is great value for the smaller things like many pairs of socks. I was able to fit about four shirts, eight pairs of socks, and two pairs of lightweight pants.”
“This product is amazing and works exceptionally well sent clothing in for our kids too and it's nice to be outside when the bugs are out the most. Don't have to worry about bites and spraying deterants around our small kids. Will be definitely sending in more clothing earlier next year! More enjoyable days outside in the summer time!”
“I had a tick borne illness in June, and was delighted to find a way to fight future bites! After sending in our clothing, it was remarkable how quickly the folks at Insect+Shield treated them and shipped them back. Now I'm protected while working outside, and am glad to let go of constant worry. I have not found any ticks on me when using the garments that were treated. I saved money because I didn't have to buy pre-treated clothing that I would have been afraid of messing up. My old work clothes are now my super Insect+Shields! Thank you!”
“I was able to fit 8 lightweight items in the bag. Quick treatment and turn around. After several uses no bites or ticks.
Let’s see if it works for the “seventy wash cycles”. If so I’m definitely doing this again.”
“Here in northern Michigan, we have a huge tick and mosquito issue, plus a lot of other bugs. I’m tired of spraying poison on myself. Every time I walk out the door of my house, and I hike a lot so it’s important to stay covered up. I ordered this bag and I was able to fit the following: three pair of hiking pants, one pair of capris, eight shirts, two buffs, one sweatshirt, and six pair of pants. My clothes are on the smaller scale. I couldn’t have been any happier with the service. It doesn’t seem like any of my items shrank, but I wouldn’t swear to it.
I am recommending this to all of my neighbors here in the buggy north.”
