My bird and I do just about everything together. She is a highly intelligent African gray parrot. When I go outside I have to be careful and very vigilant for birds of prey, cats, and mosquitoes. Due to the sensitivity of their immune system, a single mosquito bite can kill them. If they are bitten […]

Mosquito Nets for NGOs
NGOs and non-profits have to travel to some pretty remote places. Places where diseases are rampant and medical help is far away. In such a situation you need a reliable shelter. A shelter which is totally enclosed yet breathable. The SansBug mosquito tent is far superior to regular mosquito nets especially when you have to […]
Spider Proof Tent
Here’s another love letter. This one is about how the SansBug pop up tent helped Tarey sleep during a brown recluse spider infestation. If you sight a brown recluse, see sheet-like webs in corners or egg sacs on the web, this may be an indication of a brown recluse infestation. While you seal cracks, remove […]
Resica Falls Scout Reservation
Last year, I was looking for mosquito netting to help my son Jacob deal with the pending Boy Scout summer camp we were going to attend at Resica Falls Scout Reservation (he’s very afraid of spiders), and I came across several YouTube videos that explained the SansBug and how it worked. In particular the picture […]
Camp T. Brady Saunders
With a few days left to go for boy scout summer camp at Camp T. Brady Saunders, and the SansBug out of stock on Amazon, we were able to ship Joe a 1-person just in time for his son’s trip. Here’s an email from him: Thank you again for sending the SansBug mosquito net to […]
Habari gani? Mzuri sana!
The SansBug is going places. Many churches are opting for the pop up mosquito nets for mission trips. The nets are freestanding so they don’t have to worry about placing them in a spot where they could be suspended. Just unzip, slide out and toss up! “They worked great!” First Baptist of Fayetteville, TN sent […]
I lived in a SansBug for 11 months…
I worked in Haiti for 11 months, and slept in my SansBug mosquito net tent every day. I’ve used it on beds, grass and even concrete floors. I was working on the island of La Gonave as an Environmental Engineer, working for a DC-based NGO. I helped build treated drinking water facilities for the local […]
How to Stop Bedbugs
Here’s a review from England, left on Amazon.co.uk: “This is the 11th no-bedbug-bite-day since starting to sleep inside my new SansBug bedbug-proof-tent. Previously I was being bitten daily or every other day. So I feel fairly sure of my ground when I say that I believe that bedbugs cannot enter a zipped-up SansBug tent. The […]
Scout Camp, Platform Tents and Mosquito Netting
It’s been a hot summer with many temperature records broken all over the country. In fact, this year is the hottest on record in the US, even beating records set during the Dust Bowl. The very hot summer in collaboration with the mild winter and early spring seems to have contributed to a spike in […]
Camp Buck Toms
Dear SansBug Friends, We had a great week of Boy Scout Summer Camp at Camp Buck Toms in Tennessee. We were in 3-sided cabins known as Adirondacks. Nice sturdy structures that shelter the weather, but open air and accessible to spiders, mosquitoes, and other varmints. The SansBug I’s fit nicely in the bunk-beds and provided […]
