Pramex/Olyset mosquito net
After ten weeks in India using the Pramex(tm) Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (also known as Olyset nets) nearly every night,I have only praise for the product. It was simply amazing!
At first I thought I wanted a single point suspension system and was mystified by the system that Olyset uses which is box shaped and has 8 suspension points.I found that in India, every place we slept had a concrete ceiling with a ceiling fan centered in the room. There was no way to screw in an "eye-screw" in which to hang a single point suspension mosquito net.
I brought35', 30' and two pcs of 12' braided nylon cord 1/8th " diameter (found in backpacking stores, such as REI) in which to hang the net. The one piece of 35' was sufficient most of the time. I typically attached the cord to one point, threaded the cord through three loops and attached the cord to two different points on the opposite wall and threaded the cord back to the initial wall, attaching it at another point. The other pieces came in handy when the 35' was not enough.
I brought a clip for each of the net's loops to hold them "out" so the upper part of the net was outstretched. The metal clips are 1" long, 7/16" wide and are spring loaded. These were very useful, as the net loops otherwise tended to slide toward the lowest point of the suspended cord.
I was able to suspend the cord from window curtain valences/rods, doors (wrapping around the top hinge of the door), lighting fixtures, picture frame hooks and whatever was attached to the walls. I was only baffled once, when the room had tile walls and nothing protruding from the walls.
The pre-impregnated permethrin worked like magic. I set up the tent in all sorts of mosquito infested rooms where I would set it up when first arriving and we would go out for a couple of hours. Upon returning, we would find dead mosquitoes lying both upon the top of the net and on the surface of the bed. The net seemed to clear the room of mosquitoes. It was spectacular every time! I have somewhat sensitive skin in that I react to scented deodorants and soaps.If I am around people with cologne or perfume, I sneeze repeatedly until I remove myself from their vicinity. I was concerned about touching and smelling the permethrin, but it never caused any problems, whatsoever.
After ten weeks of shoving the edges of the net under the mattresses, and going in and out which necessitated pulling at the netting to cause an opening in which to exit, it remained extremely strong and showed no signs of stress.
We both loved the box shape as it gave us a roomy safe zone from the mosquitoes, not only to sleep within,but to read, talk and plan out our next adventure.
There is not one thing I can think of to improve the net's performance or comfort except to suggest bringing clips to hold the loops apart. One could tie the loops in place with the cord to keep them from sliding, but if one is constantly taking it down and putting it up under other circumstances the clips are a real time-saving asset.
