Use a Mosquito Net When Sleeping Outdoors

A mosquito net offers great protection when you want to take a camping trip. You simply install the netting over the door of your tent, or you can place a canopy of mosquito netting over the full tent. This way you know that while you are sleeping, the netting will keep out all these nasty, biting pests. You won't have to spend the next day scratching or cover yourself with insect repellent when you are inside the tent. You can get mosquito netting sold by the yard so you can make sure you have enough mesh for your needs.

Importance of mesh in the netting

The most common mosquito netting is nylon mesh too small for mosquitoes to get through. Other characteristics of this netting include:

• It is lightweight and won't add anything extra to your backpack as you travel
• It folds easily to fit in a small space
• You can have a mosquito netting door with a zipper to let you in and out.

Guides test the fabric and mesh used in mosquito nets under rigorous conditions before it is ever put on the market. If you like to sleep with your windows open at night and fear that the mosquitoes might get through the screens, you can also have this netting around your bed. It is available in twin, queen and king sizes or you can purchase it by the yard and cut off the lengths of netting that you need.

You can also use this netting as a screen for your patio, letting you enjoy the fresh air but still protect your health from the diseases carried by mosquitoes. Hats with netting to cover your face are also available and these are very popular with fishermen and hunters who don't want to endure the mosquitoes while they are in amongst the trees.
