“I was excited to try these crew socks as my first level of protection against ticks and chiggers on my hikes through the woods. I'm very pleased with the fit and comfort, and have found them to be 100% effective against ticks and chiggers. I purchased the Large size, and wear a men's size 10 shoe. I highly recommend.”
“I wear these every day, since I live in tick country. They are very durable, which can’t always be said about most other socks. The white ones do pick up dirt quickly but that’s white socks for ya”
“I'm in the yard most days, always working with a pair of these socks pulled over my pant legs, usually inside knee-high boots. After the day is done the socks (and everything else) go in the dryer for 15 minutes, and I take a shower. Have never gotten a tick. And I plan to keep it that way!”
“I get a couple pairs each summer, and buy them for my kids too. Comfortable, great quality, and with the protection of Insect Shield! What more could I want?”
“Moved from Texas to SE Pa three years ago, daughter got Lyme disease TWICE in first two summers here! So this year, I bought Insect Shield clothes for all of us. I can't guarantee we won't get Lyme but I can say this- I was gardening the other day in my IS outfit and looked down to see a teeny tiny deer tick moving on my IS socks. I sat down and watched that little bugger begin to struggle, then DIE within a couple minutes- it was so satisfying. I think this year we may have a chance against the ticks!”
