Protecting Pollinators While Protecting Oursleves

What if you could have the same mosquito bite-reducing effects as municipal sprays—without harming pollinators or the environment?
Getaway Kimonos insect-repelling wraps are the answer.

As human cases of West Nile Virus rise around the country, residents are voicing their concerns about the unintended impacts of aerial sprays on pollinators and the environment.  Moorhead City Council delayed an aerial mosquito spray  Those concerns are valid: aerial sprays can drift for miles, linger on vegetation, and harm beneficial insects like bees and butterflies. And, prior to drying, can be extremely harmful to our feline pets.

Permethrin-treated clothing, on the other hand, offers the same proven bite protection but in a personal, targeted way. That means mosquitoes and even ticks are stopped in their tracks—while pollinators and the environment are left unharmed.

Here’s why Getaway Kimonos make such a smart, stylish choice:

• Equally effective in preventing bites as municipal or commercial sprays (EPA on repellent-treated clothing).

• Only affects insects in contact with your wrap—not bees, butterflies, or other beneficial species.

• Safer for pollinators, aquatic life, and wildlife thanks to its targeted nature.

• EPA-certified safe for humans, including sensitive groups like children and pregnant women (Insect Shield safety information).

• Convenient and stylish, lasting through 70 washes for years of protection.

PLUS: Getaway Kimonos go everywhere with you—from backyard brunch to bucket-list getaways—so you can stay protected in style, wherever summer takes you.
