Review: An ounce of prevention - We’ve been using these bandanas for years. They’re great for the dogs and the humans. They work great in offering another level of protection against ticks. We keep the older worn out ugly ones in our bathroom. Anytime we pick a live tick off the dog, we rub it on the old bandana before discarding them in the toilet. In my tests it takes less than a minute for the permethrin to cause the ticks to lose use of their legs. Another benefit is visibility. They’re comfortable enough that we leave them on all the time. On the dogs that is, my wife and I remove ours upon coming inside. I’d like to see brighter colors available, like Orange and Lime Green. You can also reuse the older ones by tying them around the bottom of your pant legs while outside. It keeps your pants closed to any upward crawling insects, and also providing a safe chemical deterrent. If they crawl across it, the chances are less that they’ll even get to your mid-section, let alone have ability to hang on.
Review: Bug free hiking - I was really hesitant to try these. However, after trying one on my dog with good results, I added one to me. They work. I was totally bug free on my hike. I guess it could have just been a bug free day but that is unlikely as it is prime bug season. I will have one of these in my car at all times as an added layer of protection when I am outside!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bug free hiking
*by L***C on August 1, 2024*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Misleading description but seems to do what is supposed to do.
*by C***E on June 6, 2020*

I purchased the dark red bandana and it is 50% polyester/50% cotton, not 100% cotton as listed in the description. I washed it once and wore it tied loosely around my neck for several days. The cotton-blend material is okay, not especially comfortable nor uncomfortable. The bandana is treated with Permethrin, an odorless pesticide. It is not supposed to repel insects. What it is supposed to do is incapacitate or kill insects upon contact before they can bite you. Insects really seem to like biting me in the neck and the bandana did reduce the number of bites, so at least for me it worth the money.
