“The insect shield product works great! It took about 1 week for me to get my clothing back after I mailed them and when wear them outside I have absolutely no mosquito bites at all. The clothes don’t smell and the texture is the same. I 100% recommend having insect shield treat your clothing if you’re an outdoor person like me. Our family likes to sit on the patio in the evening and before insect shield my ankles/arms would be covered in bites no matter what we tried (backyard mosquito treatments, diffusers, candles, topical spray).”
“I was helping to run a week-long event in the Vermont forest, in a high tick season. We ended up having to evacuate due to record storms. The property had high grasses and many tick-risky areas.
I had about a dozen permanently treated InsectShield shirts, pants, and socks. I was able to keep myself freshly and smartly dressed and deal with the terrain with confidence that i wouldn’t be a feast for ticks.
The ability to protect my own clothes was key, as our event required that we wear the t-shirt and pants of the organization.
I’m extremely satisfied and will use InsectShield again.”
“Starting in 2019 I had my hiking clothes treated with excellent results. Finished the AT with no ticks after having several tick bites in previous years. Now, because of a tick infestation this year at my place of work in eastern Connecticut - I get my work clothes treated also. So far this year other employees have removed over 20 ticks. Me: zero.”
“We just received our permethrin treated pants back, and I am soooo happy! We have a cabin in Northern Minnesota where the mosquitoes have had a record hatch and are out of control. We went for a walk in the forest and the mosquitoes landed on me - easily 20+ on my legs whenever I stopped, but I didn’t get one bite! Usually I am a mosquito magnet and I can’t go outside without getting 20-30 bites. I also have a hoodie that I have had for years from insect shield that still works amazing! This is truly a game changer!”
“This is the second time I've sent clothes in, and I'm all set. On one of my hikes using this gear, I was comfortable and bug free. I've gotten my hat done, and that is a whiz keeping the mean flies away as I sweat. I also bought a buff which works great around my head and face getting through swampy areas. Love this odorless and great way to stay safe while I get ready for my thru-hike starting soon.”
“I am so excited! I got four pairs of pants treated so I won’t have to worry as we travel to Kenya and Tanzania. Plus the fact that they will last so many washings, really the lifetime of the garments, will allow me to wear them at home in the woods and fields and when I go to the ball games and not worry! Thank you Insect Shield. So much better to have this protection in my clothing and not absorbing into my skin. When I get to Africa I will only need Deet for my face and hands!”
“After using your socks, I decided to try your service of treating my gardening clothes this past winter.
I am a mosquito, gnat, and especially chigger magnet. The chiggers are especially bad to me I work in our heavily mulched yard on roses and other flowers several days each week.
So far this spring, I have not received even one chigger bite.....that is remarkable since I got over 20 separate bites in one day last spring and went looking for remedies.
Last night, we were outside at a campfire where I will usually get all the mosquito bites while my wife beside me will receiver none. I was not bitten at all.
That said, the springtime gnats and no-se-ums we have on hot, windless days in mountains of NC near streams and rivers are awful again this year. I have not had the same good luck fending them off while wearing your treated materials. Any ideas would be appreciated.”
“Been spraying my clothes against ticks for the past few years so I know pyrethrum works but this per piece idea works even better. Never once had a tick on me after this process, so it works. I also don’t have to remember if I sprayed down or not, or if my clothes need to be recharged. The mail in process is very easy, they make it simple, they have fast turnaround (way faster than quoted), and it’s for the clothes I want to wear (be it hiking, camping, hunting etc). But again, it delivers the tick protection I want. 100% a fan. A+”
