Collection: Activities - Camping - Insect Protection

Plan relaxing evenings outdoors with the right protection

Insect protection for camping starts with the conditions at your destination. An evening by a Swiss lake, a forest campsite, and a vacation in a different climate zone all present different challenges. Consider when and where you’ll be spending time outdoors and what kinds of insects are found there. Choose protection options based on their intended use and combine them with a suitable plan for your sleeping area.

Choose mosquito protection based on intended use

Covered clothing, nets, and skin-applied repellents serve different purposes. When using a skin-applied repellent, the information regarding target insects, duration of use, and age restrictions is crucial. Do not apply this information from one product to another. Also check instructions regarding material compatibility before a repellent comes into contact with fabrics or gear. For destinations with specific health risks, a travel medicine consultation is part of your preparation.

• Use: Determine whether you need protection while sitting, walking, or sleeping.
• Application: Follow the dosage, application instructions, and restrictions listed on the label.
• Nets: Check the size, fastenings, and ensure the opening is as closed as possible.
• Luggage: Plan for enough supplies to cover the duration of your trip and accommodate your travel companions.

Consider your sleeping area and evening routine

Keep the mesh openings of your camping tent closed and check them for damage. For additional mesh solutions, it’s worth looking into mosquito nets. No single product automatically fits every situation. Compare insect protection options based on your specific needs, read the product information before your trip, and find a combination that suits your camping plans.
