“I was so disappointed when one of my Insect Shield canisters petered out on me, midway through treating 7 pieces of clothing. The product is good - there just wasn't enough propellant for me to use all the contents. Second canister was great, down to the last drop. So I know it's not a problem with my finger action - but you might check consistency of the company filling your canisters.
Any chance I can get a replacement canister?”
“I spend a lot of time out photographing birds and other wildlife in the Idaho mountains, sage steppe and riparian areas wandering through areas ticks love. I have Insect Shield shirts, pants hats and buff and spraying my boots and gaiters finishes off my protection from head to toe :-)”
“I used the spray on clothing for 3-D archery courses in heavily wooded terrain. Before using the product, I used standard repellent on skin only, and was bitten through clothing. With the treated clothes and repellent- my bug shields were UP! I could focus on my shots, not the insects.”
“Not sure what I can add to the other reviews, but if you don’t spray your clothes and gear with this stuff, and aren’t wearing other Insect Shield clothing, the bugs will find ways to make your life miserable. If you do, then they literally bounce off of you, and you can laugh at them instead of suffering through them. I’m planning to keep a stock of this stuff with me at all times. Well worth it.”
“I purchased the permethrin spray to treat my granddaughter’s clothing before she went away to camp. I hoped the clothing treatment, along with insect repellent on her skin, would decrease the number and severity of her bites. I was pleasantly surprised to find that she did not receive any bug bites the whole week! Those results would not be possible with just insect repellent. I will definitely purchase again. It works!!”
“Had a girls weekend in the North Maine Woods, the only place I got bit was on exposed skin- and even then it was very few. The rest of the girls had loads of bug bites! This spray works!”
“My wife purchased this and some treated clothing for our trip to Maine. She treated clothing for herself and my son and they were eaten alive. My clothes were not treated and I had no problems. I would surmise that this product is a complete waste of money. Do not recommend. Does not do what it is intended to to do in the even the slightest sense of its purported utility. Don't waste your money.”
