“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.”
“I am a fan of this process. It was quick and easy. I sent several outfits in for treatment and have not seen a single tick since. Ticks have been very bad this summer, and since wearing the socks, pants, and sunshirt I had treated, I have not had a single tick. Mosquitos have left me alone, too! I am so happy I did this and recommend it to all my friends.”
“I was able to fit 12 pairs of thick, knee high boot socks, 4 shirts, and 1 pair of shorts into the 19x14 bag. Was sent an email as soon as my items arrived at Insect Shield. Was sent an email stating my items had been treated and were on the way back to me. Tracking number was also provided. I am super happy with the service. The ticks have been out in full force this year. Doing yard work, cutting brush, using a walk behind brush mower is less stressful now that I have Insect Shield treated clothing to protect me. Looking forward to sending in my overalls at the end of the season to be treated. Highly recommend the mail in service of my own clothing and have also purchased some pants from Insect Shield directly.”
“Mosquitoes much? I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We call ourselves “Yoopers” and we shoot “skeeters” with 22’s all summer long. True, Insect Shield has taken some of the fun outta hunting season. But it’s a trade-off with hiking (no longer sprinting for cover), reading in the hammock (novels, not just the funny papers), and drinking a whole can of beer (none gets spilled while swatting). Insect Shield; the skeeter war’s won.”
“I use this bag about once every 18mo to send a shipment of my family's clothes I want treated, and it fits all of them (for now). Two adult pants, two adult shirts, and a selection of pants, socks and shirts for three kids under 7 all fit just right. It's most cost-effective for small clothes, as large adult pants quickly take up a lot of room in the bag. Such a great product, and such a great service. Thank you!!”
“I was a bit dubious about fitting 15 items into a pouch, mailing it off, and waiting to receive my expensive items mailed back to me. However, it all worked like a charm. Although I did not receive the form one is supposed to fill out when returning the items, I called Customer Service and was told to print the order and write an inventory on that. I was able to fit into the bag: 1 cotton vest, 3 pairs of safari pants, 2 safari shirts, 3 pairs of sock liners, 1 neck gaiter, 1 scarf, 2 pairs of hiking leggings, and 2 pairs of linen joggers! The bag closed easily but I did reinforce the sides with tape just to be sure it didn’t get burst if UPS decided to throw it. Communication was perfect on Insect Shield’s side: I was notified when it was received and when it was shipped back to me. It did NOT take very long to get my items back: it only took them 4 days to process/ship once they received my items. The clothes all came back with Insect Shield labels sewn in or the logo stamped (on the socks), just so you know. I did remove all of those, but do note that they will sew them onto scarves where it may be visible. The treatment left a mild smell which dissipated upon airing the clothes. The stuff came back in a box (I was glad it wasn’t stuffed back in a mailer pouch again).”
“I am absolutely thrilled with how well this worked out for my kids. I was able to hand pick clothes I knew my kids were comfortable in & have them treated. My children have some sensory sensitivities when it comes to seems & how clothes fit, this was an absolute perfect option for me. Much more cost efficient as well! They sew little tags in so there is no risk of mixing them up and I have more peace of mind with them running through the NH woods. I was able to get 15 item in 1 mailer, there was almost no shrinkage, the clothes don't feel weird to the touch or have an odor, which would absolutely be a problem for my kids. I will absolutely be purchasing another mailer in the future. As someone who has had lymes take a family members young child's life and my husband having his own battle with lymes knowing my kids are safer from bug borne illnesses is worth every penny!”
