Mosquito net mesh
The World Heath Organisation recommends at least 25 holes per cm² to stop mosquitoes effectively.
With 63 holes per cm², this mosquito net won't let them through.
Besides, we have laboratory tested the mesh used (report available on request). This mosquito net is not treated with insect repellent.
Mosquito risk area
If you are visiting an area with a high level of mosquitoes, we recommend you also use anti-mosquito spray, essential oil-based with lemon eucalyptus or even icaridin. Indeed, in some countries mosquitoes can be carriers of serious diseases such as chikungunya, dengue fever or even malaria. In tropical zones, do not hesitate to spray your mosquito net with an insect repellent that contains permethrin before departure.
