Insect Shield® clothing repels mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers, and midges (no-see-ums.) This includes insects with the potential to carry diseases such as Malaria, West Nile Virus, Dengue Fever and Lyme disease. Many Insect Shield garments also offer the added benefit of sun protection with a UPF 30+ rating.
The protection is invisible, odorless, and as easy as putting on your clothes. Unlike traditional topical repellents Insect Shield products cannot be misused or over-applied. A variety of shirts, pants, and accessories can be purchased from Insect Shield's partners such as REI, ExOfficio, LL Bean, Orvis and Ariat. Insect Shield technology is EPA-registered, can be worn by infants, children of all ages, and women who are pregnant or nursing.
Insect Shield technology has the potential to be an important tool in the battle against insect-borne diseases and improve the health of people worldwide. Our technology can be used for apparel and many other items that people use daily to aid in protection against insects. Buzz Off Insect Shield works with agencies and international relief organizations that work to protect at-risk populations from insect-borne diseases.
