“This is a bad tick year. After the 3d time I found one crawling on me, I immediately searched for anti-bug clothing and ordered several items from Insect Shield, including 4 pairs of these socks. I sprayed my sneakers and my work pants with their permethrin spray. Now when I head out to work in the garden, I'm fully protected. The socks are comfortable and the cuffs are plenty long enough to tuck my pant legs into them. Full protection!”
“I have worn these 4 times working in deep grass and so far no ticks! They are thinner than expected but it being summer, not a bad thing and they seem to be holding up well.”
“Comfortable socks but our chiggers in Kentucky must be hardier than other states because I got chigger bites two different days but no tick bites Which I was more concerned about because I got Rocky Mountain spotted fever from a tick before I bought my socks no ticks since I started wearing these socks”
“Super excited to have these and they did keep the chiggers away. I wore them pulled over my jeans. They are soft and comfortable. They did snag on some briars and there is now a hole in them. I'll try to mend them but was surprised they were not more rugged.”
“These are nice comfortable socks and of good quality just like all of insect shield products I have purchased. It has been a bad year for ticks and mosquitos in middle Minnesota so I where their products daily in the yard and woods around our house. I went for a long hike (3 hours) the other day with my dog and I had a steady 5 - 6 ticks on my pants through the whole hike. I kept track of them to make sure none of them got to my waistband and none did.
When I got home I always do a tick check and didn't find any on me. Their products allow me to enjoy the woods in the spring and summer. Otherwise I would be confined to our yard all summer.”
