Seen and read… No telling what you’ll find on top of your SansBug when you wake up! And then there are other dragons that take refuge INSIDE a SansBug to protect them from toxic bugs and humans! […]
Eeeek…. dragons!

Ransburg Scout Reservation
A few photos from Scout Summer Camp Ransburg in Bloomington, Indiana. Thanks for keeping the boys spider free when they slept. The SansBugs worked great! I loved watching the sunset through the tents. Colleen Martin […]
Mosquito Net Tents in Africa
Even a malaria expert needs protection from mosquitoes in Africa. Dr. Amy Bei, a Harvard-trained, Yale professor who speaks a gazillion langauges spends her time between Dakar, Senegal and New Haven, CT. When she’s not fighting malaria, she grows and roasts her own coffee in Senegal, knits and weaves, and is working on her pilot […]
Mosquito Net Tents for Summer Camp
It’s that time of the year when the earth springs into life again… but this year there is expected to be a little more activity. A dozen states from NY to IL and south to GA will see billions of cicadas emerge this month or next after spending 17 years underground. They will mate, lay […]
Monarch Butterfly Habitat
Seen and Read: We’re thrilled that the SansBug mesh tent is being used as a giant insect terrarium to house monarch butterfly caterpillars. Much larger than butterfly cages specifically made for the purpose, the smallest SansBug bug tent can house more than a dozen milkweed plants. Monarch butterflies with their familiar orange and black pattern […]
BIG or small… SansBug has you covered!
Toys for little kids… … and toys for BIG kids! But seriously speaking, there are hordes of sandflies, horseflies, black flies and mosquitoes in the swamps, dense bush and forest up north, so the SansBug screen tent is not a toy… it’s a lifesaver. Oh, and if you’re taller than 6 feet, get the […]

We’re thrilled that the SansBug screen tent has been featured in Ask the Gear Guy section of Boys’ Life magazine under… Stuff we Like! The SansBug has helped thousands of Scouts and their parents brave through summer camp. Feedback such as “first time he came home without bites” and “first year he stayed at […]
Cat Tent
Being cooped up inside for 2 months, we now have a taste of what our cats feel like. Walking around the block or spending more time in the yard was a welcome relief from the lockdown-generated back pain. But don’t you feel guilty when the kitties are sitting on the window sill looking outside at […]
Racing on the Big Muddy
How many of us are ready to take a week off work to paddle down the Missouri River? Not your typical Huckleberry Finn float trip, but paddling from one end of Missouri to the other in America’s longest continuous river race which has to be completed within 88 hours (about 3 1/2 days) across 340 miles […]
Kissing Bugs?
Which do you prefer: kissing bug, assassin bug or vampire bug? All three actually refer to the same bug; the triatomine which tends to bite humans on the face and lips while they are sleeping! As if the motionless daddy long legs in the corner of the tent was not enough to give you the […]
