Benefits of BUZZ OFF - Insect Repellent Clothing
- Proven Effective. The developers of BUZZ OFF Insect Shield(tm) have conducted numerous studies with the U.S. Armed Forces and others. BUZZ OFF apparel has been shown to be highly effective through 25 washings. By contrast, insect repellents applied directly to the skin range in effectiveness and last from several minutes to several hours.
- Worry-free and Convenient. Wearing Insect Repellent Clothing reduces the need to apply insect-repellent creams, lotions or sprays directly to the skin. Although topical insect repellents may be effective, especially those containing DEET, many consumers are wary of overuse. In addition, applying insect repellents to the skin can be messy and frequent re-application is a hassle.
- Long Lasting. The insect repellent quality is effective even after repeated washings. BUZZ OFF apparel will continue to repel insects through 25 washings, the approximate effective life of the garment, according to the International Fabricare Institute. A caveat: Do not dry clean. Dry cleaning removes the active ingredient in BUZZ OFF apparel, which reduces the repellent quality.
- Ideal for Outdoor Enthusiasts. For years, die-hard hunters, anglers and other outdoor enthusiasts have applied permethrin, DEET and other repellents to their clothes to fend off mosquitoes and other insects. This remedy can work, but is not long-lasting, requires repeat application and may result in the overuse of repellent. Wearing BUZZ OFF apparel is the ideal alternative.
- :evel of Protection. In most conditions, a BUZZ OFF outfit consisting of a short-sleeve shirt, shorts and socks will provide adequate protection. For heavily infested situations, a long-sleeve shirt, pants, and a BUZZ OFF hat will give you better protection. An EPA-approved topical repellent may also be applied directly to exposed skin.
- Provides Reassurance. Health professionals, outdoor enthusiasts and the general population are increasingly concerned about diseases carried by mosquitoes, ticks and other insects. BUZZ OFF apparel repels mosquitoes, including those that can carry West Nile Virus, and ticks, including those that can carry Lyme disease.
- Registered by the EPA. BUZZ OFF(tm) Insect Shield Insect Repellent Apparel is the first insect-repellent clothing to be registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. To gain this approval, BUZZ OFF apparel underwent rigorous testing and review. No other insect-repellent clothing has gained EPA approval.
