Instead, use permethrin; it’s safe and designed for application on tents and clothes. How can I get bugs out of my tent? Six Moon Designs' Serenity Bug Tent can be used on its own but most people will want to pair it with the Gatewood Cape and Tarp Shelter - or the Deschutes Tarp. You need a trekking pole or some sort of support for it at 114cm long or thereabouts. We like the corner supported bathtub groundsheet - and deep tub sides making this a really effective bit of kit. It’s also convenient to move in and out since it has a light blue lace directly above the double 80 cm door containing a 2-way zipper. This is convenient if you have 2 kids in a mosquito net. They can play without you worrying about any harm coming to them. Invest in a good-quality zapper to keep bugs away from you and your tent. Look for one that can stand on the ground on its own, or comes with a chain so you can hang it up, and buy one with its own power source (battery or USB charger, for example). Also consider where you will use the bug zapper – do you want one inside the tent or will it be more effective outside? If the former, a small one will suffice, and if the latter, it will need to be weatherproof. 9. Dispose of rubbish

The Serenity is the perfect mate for the Gatewood Cape together the two make a greatlight weight double wall tent.On nice nights simply set it up by itself and you've got a great star gazing shelter. Very nice and big, but make sure you tie it well because it will collapse in a strong wind, but it is designed not to be damaged in the process. The doorway opening is on the side, by a corner post. You can set it up so the door is near any of the corner posts, and it zips, or rolls up to keep it open. This grey tent is also waterproof at the bottom. While you may not be protected from rain that is falling from the sky, you will be protected from the muddy ground that was either there when you put your tent on it or was created by that rain. If you need a tent that can accommodate more people, consider buying a SANSBUG 2-person or 3-person net. L Runnzer Portable Mosquito Net Tent

Continue to monitor the child if it’s too hot, and go into air-conditioning.” Nowadays, with diseases like West Nile Virus starting to be spread by mosquitoes, keeping skeeters away is an even higher priority, and a screened shelter when you’re outdoors is one solution.
