Comments about Mombasa Nimbus Mosquito Net:
Looks decent, for the price. Setup=5min. Only problems could be if not able to mount hook to ceiling and no way to seal fly. Best to pack some safety pins & a sewing kit.

Comments about Mombasa Nimbus Mosquito Net:
Having moved to Southern Mexico, where mosquitoes are a year-round treat, I installed this mosquito net over our queen bed. It has been a life saver and even our cat has taken to sleeping INSIDE the net, having learnt how to get into the thing.
The down side is that you do need a place on the ceiling from which to suspend it. We have used it intensively for a year now and it is still in fairly good shape, although I did have to apply my sewing skills in various spots near the bottom..
I am now buying another one to cover my soon-to-arrive newborn and his/her crib, so it's good stuff!

Comments about Mombasa Nimbus Mosquito Net:
The holes are quite large, making me uneasy about how effective it would be against many tiny biting insects. It would be better if the net was pre-treated with permethrin since holes are so large. It would be easier to put up if a roll of tape was included and it could be taped from the ceiling...as such we always needed to find two fairly level points from which to tie string on which we'd suspend the net. The large holes DO mean that in warm weather, the net feels cooler. It was fairly light and easy to pack away and did give us a little peace of mind knowing that no gigantic spiders were crawling into our ears!
