“The process of shipping clothing items was easy and I received the treated items very quickly. The treated garments have been very effective at repelling ticks while mushroom hunting in the insect-dense Missouri woods. I haven't bothered to use insect spray this summer and I've had zero bites.”
“I live on a creek near the Chesapeake where ticks, spiders and mosquitos are everywhere. I would be lost without my insect shield clothes. I sent my tried and true outdoor favorites for treatment, got them back and voila! No more need for noxious oily sprays.
For gardening, hiking, and anchoring out they make outdoor life possible.”
“I called to inquire on the status of my order because I was heading out on a trip. The team went and found them and ensured that they arrived prior to my departure date. I have not had any ticks or other insects bothering me since I had my clothes treated.”
“If sewn-in labels provide adequate marking for you, then embroidery is not really needed.
However, I like having the embroidery with Insect Shield logo on shirts (left upper arm sleeve) & trousers (above right hip/back pocket) so that I can quickly ID which have been treated. It would be nice if the customer could specify the preferred location.
Embroidery on hats is not worth price because all that is imprinted is a very small shield, Insect Shield's icon.
Socks do not have sew-in labels and embroidery is not available for this item of clothing. Instead, label information is imprinted/screened on the bottom/soul of the socks. Due to the small print size and rough texture of my boot socks, the label is difficult to read--not big deal for me. I was surprised to see that the imprinted label holding up well to washing and wear. There is only two colors available, black and white.”
“I'm a repeat customer who primarily seeks relief from the abundant ticks & chiggers found on our rural property. When wearing treated socks, jeans, shirt, & fishing hat with cape, I've had no bites. Sometimes I could hear mosquitoes getting close and gnats sometimes landing on my face that are an annoyance. Even spray repellents aren't completely effective for these two pest--only solution is to wear hat with mesh covering.
If I'm counting right, this was my fourth order over a two year period and I am continually pleased with the quick turnaround time.”
“My husband and I sent in gardening and work clothes several years ago, and we have enjoyed worry-free gardening, field work, and hiking ever since. I can't say enough about how effective this is aganst ticks, the dreaded Maine black flies, and mosquitoes. Am about to send in my new overalls for treatment! Few even approach, and those that do, regret it! I have recommended the treatment to all my coast of Maine friends.”
“I have been mapping soils in North Carolina since 1988. We used ot not see any of the juvenile Lonestar ticks. Since the early 90s we've seen an increase in the Lonestar ticks as well as the Black Legged Ticks. We've also seen an increase in Lymes desease and a huge increase in alpha-gal syndrome. After learning that spray-on treatments show up in your bloodstream in minutes I switched to insect shield. I feel like the process of binding the chemical to the garment is much safer than just spraying your clothes. We work in some of the highest populations of lonestar ticks in the state. Before insect shield we use to use duct tape to tape our pants to our boots and then wrap the tape on our hands with the sticky side out to collect the ticks that would crawl up our pants. Now, we just use insect shield. I hardly ever find a tick even attempting to get on my clothes. I don't think they will ever come out with anything better.

“Great service and great product. The first time I walked in the woods with my treated pants, I felt the lifting of a massive anxiety I didn't even know was there. My only complaint is that both of the pants I've had treated came back just slightly too small to be comfortable anymore. I would highly recommend sending loose clothing to be treated.”
