“In NW PA we have a lot of ticks. These socks provide protection in the yard and garden! Peace of mind is worth everything. I know people who have suffered from Lyme's disease and been hospitalized.”
“Really feel right for spring/summer hiking. I have not yet laundered them but the quality is high. I have quite a few items of Insect Shield after getting bitten last year and spending four days in the hospital with erlichiosis from a lone star tick, then several weeks to recover my strength. Don't play around with ticks!”
“So glad I have 4 pairs of these socks to protect from ticks, mosquitos, and biting ants, and other insects. Comfortable and well made.
thank you, Insect Shield.”
“I am a size 8 1/2 shoe & even my therapist suggested wearing a larger sock to prevent squished toes- appreciate the smooth fabric of these socks - they stay up and can wear pulled up over long pants with no mosquitoes or no-see-ems nibbling my ankles ! Please, would you start to offer men’s XLG socks for feet that wear a 12-14 shoe or boot?? thanks -”
“We have been wearing Insect Shield crews for several years for everyday wear during tick season, since our yard and surrounding woods are well-traveled by deer. This year I decided to try these slightly heavier socks. They’re soft and very comfortable for walking and hiking.
I’ve found zero ticks on my legs while wearing Insect Shield socks. They provide a great first line of defense. I recommend them for anyone who spends time outdoors where there are ticks or other bothersome insects.”
