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 […]
SansBug in Senegal
Researchers from Stanford University recently took the SansBug mosquito net tents to Senegal for a project on early language acquisition by children living in rural villages. Here’s a picture of two of their fieldwork team members. […]
Habari gani? Mzuri sana!
“They worked great!” First Baptist of Fayetteville, TN sent a group of 44 to Uganda for 9 days this month. Sherry was kind enough to share this pic with us. Not only would it have taken a while to suspend 44 regular mosquito nets from those steel beams, but looking at that floor, tucking the […]
Saving Eyes and Lives
Here’s an email from a Canadian Unite for Sight volunteer in Ghana: Hello, This is a picture of my SansBug tent in Accra, Ghana. My tent was utterly fantastic. Many others had tents they had to assemble while mine popped up completely on it’s own! Also, it was quite easy to fold and store once […]
I lived in a SansBug for 11 months…

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 […]

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 […]
Free-standing Mosquito Nets for Conservationists
“(The SansBug) assures me that I have a good bug, scorpion and snake proof tent to sleep in every night.“ Here’s a letter from Rick Williams, the reserve manager of the Northern Jaguar Reserve in northern Sonora, Mexico. The reserve is managed by Northern Jaguar Project (NJP), formed by conservationists from the southwestern U.S. and […]
