How has this worked as a bug deflector? Has it seemed to help at all? Also, how has it held up?

Not much difference with the bugs. One edge got bent by the car wash, not bad. Looks good still.

It was a decent bug deflector, certainly did ojt prevent everything like the old school ones might have but it's better than nothing for sure. I actually had the same one on my last avalanche and I must say that it held up well in both cases. The attachment system on this is the best available, from what I have seen anyway.

Yes this product does work. Keep using it even after you don't see any bugs. I haven't seen any bugs for a few months now, but I still continue to use this product along with daily cleaning rituals. Keep at it, it is hard work...There will be relief.

Can't help with a direct answer because I don't have that problem. It hasn't been as effective for repelling rabbits as it has been for repelling deer from my vegetable garden.

It has held up fine on my hand tools, and the experiment surfaces I've tried. For what it's worth, I had to remove it from a surface and it required a good bit of elbow grease with a sharpened putty knife. If you do decide to give it a go, please share your results. Good luck, hope this helped.

I didn't have any problems when using this around my plants. I used it both around my flower garden and my vegetable garden. It does not kill all bugs but it does significantly reduce the number of bugs you will have.

As I remember about a day.I really like mine. I don't have any flying or crawling insect. I think I it was a few hours before I saw a beetle-looking insect crawl out of my closet. I put one in there because I didn't want moths eating my wool sweatersI think it deters rodents too.Missie

It's not a bug-proof attachment. They just use bungee chords every foot or so through eyes in the screen perimeter attaching them to the poles. I wouldn't recommend for a high bug density area. Also, the first rain storm I had collapsed the columns. They are very light and flimsy. Fortunately I had an older much stronger frame of the same overall dimensions I could use to replace the broken frame.

My concern was for a product that would repel mosquitoes; I haven't encountered no-see-ums or other blood-suckers. I suggest that you go to Avon's Web site and ask them. I'm sure they would know BUG GUARD'S capabilities.

It isn't very durable...mine had holes in it and the magnets fell apart but we were able to glue them back together withour much trouble. Also unless you use the push pin type adhesive rather than the velcro pieces it won't stay hung. It was incredibly helpful keeping flies out of the house though.

Will work well to keep bugs downwind from attacking but will not defend against buts that are upwind. On a clear, windless / breeze free day or evening it should work fairly well for a 15 - 20 foot radius. Best used under a tent covering, even with open walls. Cannot put in a pocket as this is actually burning butane fuel, doubt that a holster is a good idea either.

It depends on your chemistry. Personally, I was disappointed in the product. I'm in Florida and it did not protect against no-see-ums completely. However, bugs are drawn to me more than anyone I'm with at any given time, and it did work for the others. Seems Deep Woods Off or Bullfrog are the things that work for my skin, although one contains DEET and the other is a spray.

Yes, I believe it will help. Insects with an exoskeleton are impacted by this product.

Hi Jack,We've had great luck with these. Not only does it keep away the mosquitoes but it also keeps away the 'smaller and harder to see' bugs.

I'm intrigued by the idea of a net over my bike helmet. When I slow going up hills or at intersections in the spring, bugs come through the slots of my helmet and I can't hit or scratch them as they enjoy themselves biting my head. Stopping and removing the helmet takes time and lets more bugs catch up. I think I'll try it and see if the air is too restricted. Great brainstorm! Thanks!

We love ours. Only had it last year but yes it does a good job with bugs. So far no problems.

It actually holds up pretty well as is. I haven't tried recovering it as I haven't needed to. My only issue with it, other than normal wear and tear (and it's holding up well to claws), is that my guy has started to bite it and rip pieces of it off on the side. I figure I have seven more ways to flip it until he's done destroying it.

I had it on my patio, and never had bugs at all. It worked out really well, and lasted a long time.
