I keep a set of treated outdoor work clothes in a plastic bag in the car, so when we are working in the bush (mosquito heaven) we aren't eaten alive. I wear rubber work boots, so my feet, ankles and lower leg are protected from mosquitoes and ticks. This has worked so well for us, that I am setting aside a set of decent looking clothes to treat, for situations when I don't want to look like I just crawled out of the bush... which I usually have, LOL.<br />I first learned about this product after I saw extremely expensive hiking clothing that made claims for preventing mosquito bites, then read reviews from customers that raved about how effective the clothing was. The price of the clothing is way out of my league, so I dug further and found the chemical that was used, permethrin.<br /><br />Works for us, on the areas covered by treated fabric. And I spray my head net as well, which prevents the little bloodsuckers from landing anywhere near my head.<br /><br />We are now wildly popular with dragonflies, and loving it!Maggie Turnerhttp://www.maggieturner.net/maggienoreply@blogger.com
