A mosquito net offers protection against mosquito's, flies, and other insects, and thus against the diseases they may carry. Examples include malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, zika virus and various forms of encephalitis, including the West Nile virus. Our woven insecticidal-impregnated mosquito nets will stop all of these insects from entering your sleeping area.

Yes, all the Lifesystems mosquito nets are impregnated with EX8 Deltamethrin technology, which lasts for 2 years. This is a pyrethroid treatment that has been formulated specifically for our mosquito nets. Mosquito nets impregnated with EX8 offer an extra layer of protection against biting mosquitoes, by killing them on contact when they land on the netting.

You can re-treat your net with the Lifesystems EX8 Anti-Mosquito Net Treatment, which come in 50ml bottles. You will need one bottle for all single sized nets, and two bottles for the double and king sized nets. To treat your net dilute 50ml EX8 into a container holding 350ml water and slowly pull you’re net through the solution, making sure that every part of the net is allowed to soak up the treatment. This will ensure optimum protection against mosquitoes is achieved.

EX8 Re-treatment quantities:

• Mosquito Single Nets 1 x 50ml of EX8 Anti-Mosquito
• Mosquito Double Nets 2 x 50ml of EX8 Anti-Mosquito
• Mosquito Bell Nets 3 x 50ml of EX8 Anti-Mosquito

We have two categories of nets: Travel Nets and Expedition Nets. Our Travel nets meet the requirements of the World Health Organization which is a minimum quantity of 156 holes per square inch. This quantity of holes is enough to stop the smallest of mosquitoes from getting through while offering the best levels of airflow and comfort of any mosquito netting. The Expedition nets consist include the Free Standing Geo and Solo net and both have been designed for use indoors close to the floor or outdoor use in dry climates where exposure to crawling insects and midges is likely. This is why we have used netting that contains over 1,000 holes per square inch as this is the only netting that can stop midges from getting through.

Our Micro, Bell and Solo nets come supplied with the Lifesystems pre-assembled ‘QuickHang System’ which allows the net to be hung and fixed in position within minutes. Our Box nets come supplied with lengths of cord attached to each corner of the net. These need to be tied and adjusted to the provided ceiling hooks with each net.

Yes, both of our head nets use a very fine black mesh that provides total protection from the smallest of biting insects including Scottish midges. As well as being lightweight and very compact both hats are large enough that when worn, they cover the neck area as well – simply pull the neck toggle to ensure nothing gets through.

If you contact the Lifesystems Customer Service Team, we may be able to find you a replacement bag. However this is not a stocked item, so we cannot always guarantee we will have any available.

So you now know you need a net, now it’s a case of deciding which net is the one for you. Here’s our quick guide to choosing a suitable mosquito net:

MicroNets

MicroNets or Wedge Nets are like a wedge or slice of cake on its side. The high end provides space for the user while the low end drapes over the sleeping bag or bedding. These are probably the most versatile mosquito nets available using the unique integrated ‘QuickHang System’ the MicroNets can be positioned and hung in a matter of seconds. The Micro single and double nets come supplied with a spreader bar ensuring that the netting hangs away from the body, improving protection and ensuring good air flow.

BoxNets

The BoxNet is spacious and comfortable with potentially the largest enclosed volume of any net style. When hung from all four points it allows good air circulation and is therefore cool to sleep under. It is also possible to hang it from just two points to form a wedge shape. Because these nets are more time-consuming to put up, they are probably better suited to longer term accommodation use.

BellNets

BellNets are one of the most popular nets, suited to travelers who generally prefer longer term accommodation. The top poles spread the netting out creating a bell shape that offers excellent airflow through the netting while maximizing the interior space to fit over double, king size and super king sized beds.
