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.
