“I hunt with a grand little pack of 18 beagles here in Ohio. Over the last 20 years, likely due to Climate Change, several species of tiny ticks have invaded southern Ohio. I can find products to protect the hounds, but I was getting ticks on me personally every time I was in the woods, even in winter. So I sent two pairs of my brush pants to Insect Shield a few months ago and have not had a tick on me since! Amazing service/product they have - now tick diseases are not a worry for me!”
“Insect Shield is available on almost no outdoor gear. I think this is criminal. Insect-borne diseases can be awful and deadly. All clothing I buy, except for office, I send after one washing to be treated by Insect Shield. And I send it to be retreated after every year of use. I have seen it work. Ticks and mosquitoes slow down when in contact with Insect Shield clothing, giving you a fighting chance to avoid disease, especially if the gear is light colored, and tucked in all around. The Insect Shield treatment is far preferable to attempting to use the available fabric sprays that the outdoor stores push when I ask for protective gear: the spray wears off rapidly, potentially poisoning your outdoor environment (the other bugs and fish are my friends) without protecting you for long. I have written complaints to the big outdoor vendors: they obviously don't care if their customers live or die. Insect Shield does.”
“I am very pleased with the clothing treatment service and highly recommend it. My own clothing, now tick resistant, WOW! I was treated for Lyme Disease early in the year, before I heard about Insect Shield technology. Now I don't go outdoors without complete Insect Shield protection; socks, pants, and shirt. I recommended Insect Shield clothing treatment to a friend who is a State Game Warden and he's getting authorization to have his uniforms treated. It doesn't get any better than that.”
“I have been using Insect Shield products, including having them treat my clothes for about 5 years now and have found no ticks on me whatsoever. Neighbors and friends who do not use their product continue to find ticks on themselves after spending time in the woods. I have been building trails during this time and are therefore very close to the places where ticks hide. Highly recommend their products, treatment of your own clothing and also their spray for use on shoes etc.”
“I used to live near Lyme, CT (ground-zero for Lyme disease), but I always got all my hiking gear treated by the Insect Shield people before I even wore it the first time. Never had a Lyme scare. I recommend this to all my friends and acquaintances.”
“I got one of my favorite hiking pants treated with insect shield rather than buying a new pair. I am tall and thin and have a hard time finding pants that fit. This was the perfect solution.”
“I send the majority of my summer clothes to get treated with insect shield’s product. It protects me from being bitten even though bugs love me. I am very glad that I found this product and recommend it to everyone. Thank you insect shield.”
“Permathrin is the best protection against ticks, and the diseases they carry. Works against mosquitoes, too, for all areas that are covered by treated clothing. Additional insect repellent is needed for exposed skin, especially if the mosquitoes are bad. Insect Shield is a great company to work with. The process of treating your clothes is simple and quick. Any time I've had questions someone answered the phone and knew the answers. I've been having my clothes treated by Insect Shield for over 10 years, and I've never been disappointed.”
