The Bug Shield Blanket allows users to spend time outside without swatting at pesky mosquitos. Designed by Outer, an outdoor furniture startup, the bug-repelling blanket keeps users warm and comfortable as fall approaches. The blanket works with embedded technology to repel insects of all kinds.
From mosquitos to ticks, the Bug Shield Blanket repels all bugs. It is free from harsh chemicals and encourages people to spend more time outdoors. The furniture brand collaborated with Insect Shield, which developed an insect repellent that can be embedded in the fabric. Insect Shield's proprietary permethrin is bonded into the blanket's fabric to provide users with an odorless bug repellant solution. The invisible shield is effective for up to 25 launderings, which should last the blanket's lifetime.
