Insect protection for travel
New country, new insects, and no idea what the local ticks or mosquitoes carry. A barrier you can pack is the one thing that works the same everywhere.
What you are up against
You do not know the local risk
Tick and mosquito seasons differ by region, and so does what they carry. Travelers rarely know which trail, lake or campsite is the risky one until after the bite.
Sprays are a hassle on the road
Liquids take space in your bag, run out at the wrong moment and have to be reapplied after every swim or shower.
Long days, little time to check
Busy travel days make careful tick checks easy to skip, especially on kids.
How Bug Away handles it
Works the same everywhere
The mesh openings are under 0.6mm. That stops ticks, mosquitoes and black flies whatever region you are in, without relying on a chemical.
Fits in a daypack
A full set weighs under 80 grams and packs into its own jacket pocket. No liquids, nothing to declare, nothing to run out of.
For the whole family
Sets come in men's, women's and kids' sizes, so everyone is covered on the same trip.

Worth knowing
- Check the local tick and mosquito season before you go.
- Keep the set in your daypack, not your suitcase, so it is there when you need it.
- Shower within two hours of coming in from grass or woods.
- Bring a tick removal tool. Pharmacies abroad do not always stock one.
Protection that cannot wash out
No permethrin, no reapplying, nothing to wear off. Just a weave that ticks and mosquitoes cannot get through.
Other ways people use it
Your own garden is tick habitat.
The trail is narrow, the grass leans in, and every step brushes something.
Standing still in wet ground at dusk is the single best way to get eaten alive.
Kids are lower to the ground, deeper in the grass, and worse at standing still for a tick check than anyone.
At camp you sit still in the grass, at dusk, next to the water.
