AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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.
