Chemical enhanced clothing apparel - Insect Shield apparel
Well don't that beat all - I just found out they sell - "Insect Shield apparel" - or as I call it - bug off clothing...lol.
We sure could have used "insect repelant clothing" on our last camping vacation. The cool weather kept the bugs away but occassionally some always showed up. Ofcourse here in florida with spring and mosquito season starting up [ if we get decent rain ] I might get some of this "Insect Shield apparel" for the kids. My son gets bit alot - and lately he acts like he lives outside.
Here is some info I found out...
