I looked at the pamphlet on the container. It did not list bagworm specificalmly. my experience with this product is protection from a wide range of creatures that feast on leaves a trunks of trees.

I am certain that it will kill anything that bites into your leaves. Japanese beetles are a terrible problem here. They stripped my hybrid elm trees one year. Then I put this stuff down. It kills the beetles so fast that each beetle takes one little bite and then it dies right there still holding on to the leaf. You can get the same chemical much more cheaply on Amazon. Get Criterion 75WSP 6.4 ounces. It contains four smaller packets. The stuff dissolves immediately. I put one packet in a 3 gallon pail of water and pour it around my trees. They are more than 30 feet tall and it protects them completely. I am certain that it will kill anything that bites into your leaves. Japanese beetles are a terrible problem here.

Hi - The 'insect shield' refers to the mosquito net having been pre-treated with an insect repellent spray (usually the spray called Permethrin). Using this type of bug spray on clothing, gear, etc. is safer (less damaging to clothing/fabric) than products that contain Deet. Search for the Sawyer Premium Permethrin Clothing Insect Repellent Trigger Spray to read more about this type of product. If you are going hiking into the deep woods or in areas where there is a chance for high insect contact, getting the insect shield is worth it. You could, however, also buy the permethrin separately and just spray the mosquito net on your own to give it the same protection. Generally, the permethrin product will last on clothing/fabric for up to six machine washes. It really all depends on what you're using the net for and whether or not there is value in buying something like the product Permethrin separately so you can use it more often and use it on other items beyond the netting. Personally, I purchased the one with the insect shield (and also purchased a separate bottle of Sawyer's Permethrin) because I knew I would need it during some hikes that I was doing. The pre-treated version really helped repel the bugs so I could wear the net with a baseball hat comfortably (and it still covered my neck - with a brimmed hat, it was a bit tight at covering my entire neck) and the insects were not buzzing right next to the net that was near my ears - they were at a few inches distance, so it made the hiking much more comfortable. Here is a great product description on permethrin that will answer your questions - I cannot tell you how much this insect shield net (and the Permethrin on my clothing) made my outdoor activities much more enjoyable: http://www.amazon.com/Sawyer-Permethrin-Clothing-Repellent-24-Ounce/dp/B001ANQVYU/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1352169355&sr=1-1&keywords=bug+spray+for+clothes Hope this helps answer your question!

Wow, this is a flea product, I have no idea why you would think it would prevent bed bugs. Sorry!!

We purchased this netting to encase our blueberry bushes. Our intention was to keep birds from eating the fruit but I have to admit I have not never seen a butterfly inside the area. The only insects I have seen in there are small bumblebees. This is an excellent product, seems durable, and we expect it to hold up for years to come. I would recommend it.

Hello, Since the clothing is totally enclosed in the high capacity nylon, poly coated bags, they will protect you clothing as well as anything. Here is a quote from the University of Kentucky agricultural department: Neither the clothes moth nor carpet beetle larva can digest cellulosic fibers (such as cotton, linen, or rayon) or synthetic fibers (such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic) so they generally leave these alone. I hope this answers your question. Regards, John Harrington, Garment Racks Etc

I use my net to cover my blackberry bushes, it has small holes but I don't know if it would keep mosquitoes out.

my first suggestion for you is to move immediately! As for this mesh it is tight like a screen. If anchored reasonably taught and embedded in the dirt consistently across the bottom, I se no reaso it wouldnt keep out snakes. I do not however know the strength or diameter of such reptiles as "babies" and I assume if they are persistent enough they might be able to nose though the fabric's weave. My suggestion is to double up the fabric, pull it taught and bury the bottom a few inches in the ground. Good luck.

Yes I assume so because it protects it completely from anything outside of the bag.

I would say that the bag is not designed to be sealable against those type of pests. I believe it will do a good job of keeping passive dust out, but against a determined bug, no I think is will not do the job.

This will zip so tight that air will not get in or out. So I would say it would work for bugs too

I don't think this screen has a fine enough mesh to keep out fruit flies. (Does anything?) I bought it to keep out mosquitos, which it does very well. That said, you could probably impede a great number of them. Just don't expect total prevention.

I'm sure it would. It protects against all breeds of mosquitoes. Just make sure you have plenty of refills.

Nope. I use it to keep dog dander and dust down because of allergies. I am really impressed with the job it does and would buy another one without a doubt.

Hi Bobby! Thanks for the question. My Eco Mattress Bag is designed to protect your mattress from bed bug, mite, fleas, ticks and moth infestation. Since they cannot penetrate me Eco Mattress Bag, as it's designed as a NON-VENTED 2.2 Professional Grade Recycled Plastic ( this is a huge factor), Bed Bugs and other small insects cannot enter, break, chew through, burrow or nest like other mattress bags. Other Mattress Bags are usually made with small venting holes which allow bed bugs easy access- which defeats the purpose of protection. Our Eco Mattress Bag is also made 15% bigger so you can pull and seal tight to prevent any bed bugs from entering your mattress. For full protection, I would also suggest to wrap your Box Spring as bed bugs are commonly found infesting and reproducing in this area. I hope this is helpful and please let me know if you need anymore help! Sincerely Green, Spencer Brown Founder and Inventor of the Eco Mattress Bag

The mesh is made of one-inch squares, so no, it won't keep insects out. It doesn't block any sunlight, though.

Yes, it's a tightly woven mesh, and these help with this annoying problem. As long as you make sure there is no other uncovered food source for the displaced flies to go to, they will eventually die out.

The zippered pillow protector will protect the pillow from bed bugs entering it & infesting it. A regular pillow case by itself will not. I do put a regular pillow case over my zippered pillow protector so that I can change & wash it (otherwise oils from your hair & face will dirty it after while.) I also have a zippered anti-bed bug mattress protector (I put a big piece of clear tape at the top of the zipper, just in case) & climb up interceptors for my bed posts. The bugs cannot get in & will be easier to catch & kill if you see them hanging out underneath or on the bed. I do not have a box spring but if I did I would encase it like my mattress. I got a metal bed frame. I got lots of tips from Jeff White at bedbuger.com. Good luck to you. Bed bugs can cause a lot of anxiety but you can get rid of them.
