Why an impregnated mosquito net is essential when travelling
Unfortunately, mosquitoes are found even in the most beautiful and remote countries in the world – or perhaps especially there. Reliable mosquito protection is essential, especially when travelling to tropical countries with diseases such as malaria, dengue fever or Zika virus.
It is therefore important to create a complete protective space around yourself at night. A lightweight, foldable mosquito net for tropical travel offers the best protection here. GlisGlis mosquito nets for tropical travel have a high mesh density that even exceeds WHO specifications. They are treated with a natural insecticide that reliably repels mosquitoes and other insects.
Thanks to modern details such as a patented expander in the hem for quick attachment and a practical zip entrance, our travel mosquito nets not only ensure maximum safety, but also a high level of sleeping comfort – whether in a hotel, Airbnb or tropical hut.
Additional insect protection through impregnation
Impregnated mosquito nets for travelling are not only a barrier to all kinds of insects, they also have an extra weapon in their arsenal. In addition to the mechanical protection provided by the fine honeycomb structure, the nets are treated with a natural repellent (GreenFirst) that repels mosquitoes that try to settle on the net.
The repellent’s job is to find mosquitoes that come into contact with the net and prevent them from biting. This is especially important if an arm or leg touches the net from the inside at night, making it easier for mosquitoes to get to you from the outside through the honeycomb structure of the net.
A travel mosquito net protects you from tropical diseases
No one wants to have their holiday ruined by a few mosquitoes. Travel mosquito nets are essentially your personal bodyguard against these little pests, which can transmit diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus and more. These are serious diseases that not only ruin your holiday, but can also have real health consequences. Especially in areas where these diseases occur, a travel mosquito net (whether impregnated or not) can make a difference.

Maximum protection without gaps: the patented expander system
The expander – a true master of user-friendliness. Thanks to our clever tensioning system, attaching it to the bed is child’s play.
The flexible expander ensures that the net can be stretched over the mattress in a matter of seconds, just like a fitted sheet. No more fiddling around trying to tuck it under the mattress. This means that the net always fits securely on the bed and leaves no gaps for mosquitoes.

Secure entrance with zip
The entrance with zip is not only practical for getting into your net comfortably, but also offers optimum protection. This is particularly important for mosquito nets when travelling to areas with lots of mosquitoes. You can quickly open the entrance to get into bed and then close it securely with the zip.
This prevents mosquitoes from getting inside when you go to bed or go to the toilet in the dark at night. What’s more, you don’t have to pull the net over your head every time you want to get in or out.
Night-time rest and sleeping comfort
A good night’s sleep is part of a good holiday. If you are travelling in an area with lots of mosquitoes, our lightweight travel mosquito net with zip fastener can ensure that you can sleep protected and undisturbed at night.
Nothing is more annoying than being woken up at 3am by mosquitoes buzzing in your ear.
With our mosquito nets in your luggage, you’ll not only be safe from bites, but you’ll also be able to enjoy a restful night’s sleep so that you’re rested and ready for new adventures in the morning.
The GlisGlis difference: Why ‘standard’ is often not enough
Most travel mosquito nets fail not because of the material, but because of the fastening. Conventional nets have to be laboriously stuffed under the mattress – a mechanical weak point that loosens with every movement during sleep. As soon as the net slips, gaps appear that render even the best impregnation useless.
What makes GlisGlis fundamentally different:
Seamless fixation: Instead of loose stuffing, we rely on a patented expander system. Like a fitted sheet, the elastic hem encloses the mattress and keeps the net permanently taut – even with restless sleep or thin hostel mattresses.
Insect-proof entrance: While simple overlaps can gap when exposed to wind or movement, our double zip closes the net hermetically. The result is essentially a closed protective capsule that perfectly combines a mechanical barrier with chemical protection (GreenFirst®).
Guaranteed safety: In regions with a high risk of infection (malaria, dengue fever), this seamless connection is crucial. GlisGlis eliminates the biggest source of error when travelling: the human factor during set-up.

Versatile places of use
There are many possible uses. Whether you are staying in a hotel, a holiday home or a simple hut on the beach, you will be safe from mosquitoes. Both designs – the pyramid and the cube – will ensure you have peaceful nights. During the day, you can also use the net to protect yourself from the pests while you read, eat or simply relax.
Mosquito protection for pregnant women and children
When travelling with pregnant women or children, protection against mosquitoes is even more important. Pregnant women should be particularly careful when it comes to the Zika virus, which can endanger babies. A mosquito net with an expander and zip-up entrance therefore offers simple and effective protection for those who are particularly at risk.
For pregnant women or when travelling with small children, we recommend our GlisGlis Green Edition without impregnation.
Tip: Preparation is important
It is a good idea to do a quick check to make sure that your new travel companion is in good condition and that the expander and all zips are working properly. Before you travel, check that the mesh fabric is intact and has no holes.
We also recommend that you take a string for hanging and hooks with you. If you bought the mosquito net a long time ago, make sure that the impregnation is still effective – it can wear off over time. If you are going on longer trips, it can’t hurt to refresh the impregnation in the mosquito net after a while.
Conclusion: Your travel mosquito net for worry-free nights
A high-quality travel mosquito net is not just an addition to your equipment, but your most important insurance against tropical diseases. In regions with a risk of malaria or dengue fever, the quality of your protection determines the safety of your entire trip.
Thanks to the combination of active impregnation, the seamless expander system and the practical zip entry, the GlisGlis Blue Edition offers exactly the security that conventional nets often lack. So you can rest assured that your protection will remain stable throughout the night – no matter how basic your accommodation is.

Pyramid vs. box shape. Which mosquito net is right for you?
Our impregnated mosquito nets are available in two designs
Both designs naturally have our patented tensioning system with expander and the entrance with a large zip.
| Feature | Pyramid shape | Box shape |
| Attachement | 1-point suspension, expander in the hem | 6-point suspension, expander in the hem |
| Sense of space | tapering at the top | lots of space, vertical walls |
| Impregnation | impregnated with GreenFirst | impregnated with GreenFirst |
| Entry | Entrance with zipper | Entrance with zipper |
| Pack size | compact, light; 499g | slightly bigger, 550g |
For travel to tropical regions, we recommend a lightweight, high-density mesh sheet that has been treated with a water-repellent finish. Models with an elasticated hem and a zip are particularly practical, as they provide complete protection without the hassle of having to tuck the sheet under the mattress.
The impregnation (e.g. with GreenFirst®) repels mosquitoes that land on the net and try to bite through the mesh. This provides additional protection against diseases such as malaria or dengue fever, particularly in areas with a high risk of infection.
Modern travel mosquito nets use a single-point suspension system that can be easily attached to lamps, hooks or ceiling fans. Thanks to an elastic cord at the bottom, the net secures itself to the mattress. This means no tools are required. More tips on setting up a mosquito net at Setting up a mosquito net
Yes, provided it functions as a seamless system. Reliable protection against disease vectors requires a combination of high mesh density, effective impregnation and a tightly woven construction.
GlisGlis is the only supplier on the market to offer a complete system that combines all these protective features – including a zip-fastened opening and an expander for securing the garment. All of this consistently eliminates any potential security gaps to guarantee maximum safety in high-risk areas.
