“I can’t believe how quickly my treated items were returned to me! An added bonus was that my shorts and pants had an insect shield label sewn inside them which will make keeping track of my insect shield clothing easier.”
“We are long-time Insect Shield customers, and have always been pleased with the results of keeping bugs away! Our teen is going on a 12 day hiking trek this summer, so we recently sent his pants in to be treated with Insect Shield. We are more than happy knowing he is protected from ticks and other insects. Thank you, Insect Shield!”
“Wow!!! Incredibly fast turn around time and customer service!! This is so much better than going out to the garage and spraying it myself , and it lasts so much longer!!!
We travel a lot to areas where ticks and mosquitos are abundant, so this is a FIND for us. Thank you for all you do! You are amazing!!!
Highly recommend this company, and am telling all my hunting and hiking family and friends!!!”
“Living in Tickville, CT, I have had all my outdoor clothes treated. Hiking socks, pants, shorts, shirts, etc. have been treated. The only time I found a tick on me in 2023 was when I was not wearing my Insect Shield treated clothes. Worth the price and peace of mind.”
“Apprehensive of the process at first so I called numerous times to get all my questions answered and the girls answered every one of them with great patience and knowledge. So I sent 7 single items to them, they applied the insect shield and sent items back. The whole process from start to finish was under a week - and there was no odor whatsoever. Very little shrinkage because all items were washed before being sent! I would definitely recommend this company. Kept me informed when they received my items and when they shipped them to me.
Just have to wait until mosquitoes come in spring to see if permethrin really works!”
“I've used products treated by Insect Shield through a third-party seller and been very satisfied. That seller went out of business, so I placed an order to have *my* clothes treated directly by Insect Shield. Their prices seemed a bit high to me ( $9 to treat a pair of socks???), but the service is vital to me; I hike outdoors a lot in what is locally referred to as "Tick Central". USPS got my clothes to them on a Monday and on the following Thursday they shipped them back to me. They chose UPS which is much better than the alternative, and I had my clothes back 8 days after I shipped them out.
They stamped my sock with their logo and warnings, and sewed a tag into the jeans and T-shirt with the same logo and warnings. I didn't pay extra for that; they did it gratis.
It's hard to prove a negative, but I've had 6 ticks on me through the years and always when I was wearing untreated clothes...inversely, I've *NEVER* had a tick on me while wearing treated clothes. Not absolute proof, but enough to get me to treat a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a pair of socks.
Why not a 5? They ought to discount socks. Again, $9 to treat something I paid $1 for seems a bit excessive.”
“We have sent our yardwork and hiking clothes off every year to Insect Shield in late winter to have them professionally permethrin them. While we also purchase permethrin spray for our less used clothing, we find the treatment of clothes very frequently worn in high-risk places has been VERY effective; have never found any ticks on us! Insect Shield has good sales and fast response/return of treated clothing. We100% recommend mailing in your clothes for this excellent months-long tick protection!”
