What do you think of the idea of bug netting sewn around the perimeter of a pyramid tent? Oware and Bearpaw offer it as options (I think MLD does as well). How effective is it? I live in Colorado and can be in some really buggy areas, but I have always found nests confining. If perimeter netting is, say 50% as effective as a nest in dealing with bugs, that might be a worthwhile tradeoff.

Permethrin. There’s a thread on here somewhere on making your own for cheap.

If you go this route, please report back. This is something I've been curious about for years. The mosquito game is pretty serious where I live, so I always figured I'd need to be pretty sure before going for it. I've got a GoLite SL5, and prefer it without the nest.

Been curious about this myself. Would be nice to have a short mesh knee wall on buggy nights.
