pretreated mosquito nets

[Ingrid]

I have a mosquito net that was pretreated with repellent but it's getting old and I think the repellent has worn off by now. Is there a way to treat it again with something? This is still a good net, it just needs the repellent to be refreshed.

Have either of you had any problems with the smell when you first got it? I've wanted to get one but I've got relatives with breathing problems so I was afraid to.

 

[Refrigerator]

never had any problems....but then I have never had the flu and never missed any work due to illness or complain of any discomfort at all. If I was discomforted nobody would know it.

Mind over matter Ranger...if you don't mind...then it don't matter.

Elizabeth, no it didn't smell at all and I am very sensitive to fragrances such as perfumes. I can't speak to how it will smell if I use the stuff that Refrigerator suggests, but the pretreated netting didn't have any odor.

I've used Perethrin before, treated my colthing the night before and didn't have any odor the next day. I'm sure if you pretreat any netting, you won't have any issue with odor once it dries.

I'm going to try pretreating my clothing next year. This makes so much more sense than just reapplying the deep woods off that doesn't work that great anyway.

I'm going to try Permethrin for sure. I sure did love having the pretreated net. It makes a huge difference. I'm going to have try it on my clothes too!

Net should be washed properly so that it could not smell a lot. Put it in some fresh water some days then again you can use it.

a few squirts of Repel 100 after you set up will work fine.

That is one of the reason I like fall and winter backpacking. No Bugs.

I never knew they made mosquito nets pre-treated with the repellent. That's a pretty nifty idea. If it's old, maybe you need to just use it like the one's without repellent.
