How to Bug Bugs

Yes - but when you have this new formula to keep bugs off of you, you have it right there! With netting, you would have to run back inside, grab the net and swat it. Or if you had one of those tents that was like a net (SansBug) you would already have to put it up, take it down, and some people just don't want to deal with that.

A mechanical line of defense (netting) is a safer option than chemical for those intending to relax outside. A pop-up mesh tent like the SansBug would be so much safer and cheaper in the long run.

I think that DEET or this bug repellant is a really good idea! I know when people are outside in summer time or any time they hate the mosquitos, chiggers, any type of insect that bites. But, by the sound of this new stuff, people would feel so much better outside and wont have to worry about mosquitos biting them. :)
