Insect Shield® technology converts clothing and gear into effective, long-lasting and convenient insect protection. Insect Shield is EPA-registered to repel mosquitoes, ticks, flies and fleas, including those that can carry dangerous illnesses such as Lyme disease, malaria, West Nile virus or Zika virus.
Insect Shield technology results from years of intensive research and field study. Numerous studies have confirmed the effectiveness of permethrin-treated clothing as an insect repellent. Insect Shield’s own testing methods follow United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines, and the results conclusively show that our unique, long-lasting insect protection works.
