Fishing & Hunting

Effective protection against mosquitoes, gnats, and deer flies

When fishing or hunting, you often spend time in environments where mosquitoes, midges and other biting insects are most active – near water, in forests, wetlands, and during early mornings and late evenings. To stay focused on the activity, you need reliable mosquito protection that works both while moving and when sitting still for longer periods.

Protection while moving

During active hunting and fishing, personal protection is essential. Mosquito repellents applied to skin or clothing provide flexible protection against mosquitoes and midges without restricting movement. Mosquito jackets and mosquito hats offer direct mechanical protection for the head and upper body. Mosquito nets also play an important role, especially as they protect against deer flies (elk flies, Lipoptena cervi), which are difficult to repel with scents and are common in forested areas.

Protection while stationary

When sitting on a stand, fishing from one spot, or taking breaks, creating a protected personal space is important. In these situations, personal mosquito protection and physical barriers help reduce bites during periods of high insect activity.

Recommendation

The most effective protection when fishing and hunting is achieved by combining several solutions. Use personal protection while moving and complement it with protective clothing or mosquito nets when staying in one place for a longer time. This reduces the risk of bites and irritation, allowing you to focus without being disturbed by insects.
