Bugs are the last thing you want when you are working on outside plant telephone jobs - the kinds of bugs that bite and can make you miserable. The 3M telecommunications business has an answer for you: 3M Ultrathon insect repellent. Technicians working outside, especially during spring and summer, will be relieved by the long-lasting protection of Ultrathon insect repellent. It's now available where you buy 3M telecommunications products.
Ultrathon insect repellent is available as a lotion in a 2-ounce tube and as an aerosol in a 6-ounce can. It uses a patented 3M controlled-release technology that makes it slow to evaporate and allows the product to continue working long after many other repellents have dissipated.
People working outdoors for an extended time -- such as outside plant field technicians and installers -- will benefit from the protection provided by this product, which initially was developed for the U.S. military. It creates an effective barrier that repels mosquitoes, including those that may carry the West Nile Virus and ticks that may carry Lyme Disease, as well as biting flies, chiggers, gnats and more.
