Insect Repellent Clothing

Mosquitoes, sand flies and ticks love to congregate and bite around your feet and ankles and this can become quite a problem if left unchecked.

Insect repellents can help enormously, but now you can go one step further with insect repellent Bugsox.

If you've ever travelled through a leech infested area you'll appreciate the value of these Leech Socks - they stop leeches from getting into your socks and crawling up your trouser legs - a most unpleasant experience, and one to be avoided if at all possible.....

Head Nets work very well in combination with insect repellents to double your defences, but they can also be used quite effectively on their own in low risk areas, thereby allowing you to use less insect repellent - not always a pleasant thing to be smearing around your face. A Head Net can also help enormously to improve the quality of life when you're under sustained attack from biting insects.

Midge and Mosquito Jackets offer the ultimate in protection from midges, mosquitoes and other flying insects.

They are intended primarily for use in extreme conditions in places like Scotland and Scandinavia where insect attack can be severe and sustained, but they could also prove to be invaluable in many other environments as well.

Permethrin kills insects on contact, and it's recommended by the UK Health Protection Agency for treating clothing in areas where there is a risk of malaria.

It can also be used to treat tents and mosquito nets to improve their effectiveness.
