Mosticare Rondo — Conical Mosquito Net
A conical mosquito net for the European countryside bedroom.
- Factory-impregnated permethrin — bound into the fibre, never sprayed
- Three-year effective lifecycle under normal use
- Ships with recycled-cotton carry sachet and deployment card
A WHO-prequalified conical mosquito net for European bedrooms — a single-point ceiling canopy that drapes 360° around the bed in a clean circle. Factory-impregnated polyester mesh, three-year effective lifecycle, available in two sizes: Rondo Uno for single beds and Rondo Due for queen beds. Bedroom protection without sprays, plug-ins, or airborne chemistry in the room.
Late-summer afternoons in a farmhouse in the Luberon, a stone villa in Tuscany, a converted masseria in Puglia — wooden beams overhead, linen sheets on the bed, the window open to the garden. The one thing a European countryside bedroom no longer has, and increasingly needs, is a serious defence against the Asian tiger mosquito. The Mosticare Rondo is a conical mosquito net designed for exactly that room: a single-point ceiling canopy that drops into a clean 360° circle around the bed, turning eight hours of sleep into a certified physical barrier. No aerosol sprays. No plug-in diffusers. No smouldering coils. No airborne chemistry in the air a household breathes.
What this net is, exactly
The Mosticare Rondo is a circular "princess-style" canopy built around a reinforced top ring that suspends from a single ceiling hook above the centre of the bed. From the ring, the mesh flares outward into a full conical enclosure that fully contains the mattress and allows free airflow through the weave.
The mesh itself is knitted from 75-denier polyester at a 156-count density (25 holes per cm²) — the structural specification used across the WHO long-lasting-net category. The fibre is factory-impregnated with permethrin at 9 g/kg (0.9% w/w), a WHO-recommended pyrethroid bound into the yarn during manufacture rather than sprayed onto the surface, so the treatment does not wash out, does not leach meaningfully onto skin, and does not release into the air of the room.
The Rondo is WHO-prequalified as a long-lasting insecticidal net and authorized for European Union market release under the EU Biocidal Products Regulation. Colour: soft off-white. Two sizes are available as variants of the same product: Rondo Uno for single beds and Rondo Due for queen beds. Every Rondo ships with the canopy, a recycled-cotton carry sachet, a quick-start deployment card, a Mosticare three-year lifecycle card, and an invitation to the Mosticare community.
Why a physical barrier is the right approach
For decades, the mosquito-protection aisle has offered one answer in European homes: chemistry inside the room. Aerosol sprays, scented candles, plug-in diffusers, coil-burners. Household products that, at best, fail to reliably stop the mosquito and, at worst, release active chemistry into the air of a bedroom for hours on end. The EU Biocidal Products Regulation is steadily tightening what chemistry can sit next to a sleeping person, and for good reason.
A bed canopy is the clean alternative. It is a physical barrier that stops the mosquito at the mesh and puts no chemistry into the air you breathe. The permethrin impregnated into the Rondo's fibre reinforces that barrier at the point of contact — bound into the yarn at a deliberately minimal dose, not diffused through the room — so the barrier does its job while the air stays chemistry-free.
Who it's for
The Rondo is for European households in tiger-mosquito territory — France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Greece, southern Germany, southern Austria — who want a serious bedroom defence that reads as architecture, not as camping gear. The single-point ceiling suspension suits traditional rooms with exposed beams, high ceilings, and existing ceiling hooks or beam anchors: farmhouses, country homes, converted barns, holiday villas, and second homes along the Mediterranean coast.
Rondo Uno is sized for a single bed and is the right fit for a child's room, a guest bedroom, a studio flat, or a single sleeper in a countryside master bedroom. Rondo Due is sized for a European queen bed and is the right fit for couples, primary bedrooms, and holiday-rental beds.
If you prefer a rectangular parallelepipedic silhouette that tensions from four corners rather than a single-point conical drop, the Mosticare Cubo Uno (single) or Cubo Due (double) are the better fit. If you're heading into a malaria-endemic region, the Mosticare Traccia travel wedge or Domo Pop freestanding dome are purpose-built for the road.
How to use it well
The Rondo is designed to install in minutes from a single ceiling point and look after itself for three years of normal use.
- Mount a single ceiling hook or beam anchor directly above the centre of the bed; suspend the reinforced top ring and let the canopy drop naturally into its circular form.
- Distribute the hem evenly around the bed, tucking fully under the mattress or letting it puddle-train to the floor around the frame.
- Inspect the mesh visually at the start of each summer season; repair small damage with the Mosticare Net Repair Kit.
- Wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent; follow the WHO long-lasting-net guidance of no more than 20 washes over the net's useful life; air-dry in shade, never tumble-dry.
- Pack down into the recycled-cotton sachet for travel or off-season storage — both Uno and Due compress small enough to stow in a weekend bag.
- Expect a three-year effective protection lifecycle under normal household use, and longer with careful handling.

- WHO-prequalified long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) — the Rondo carries current listing on the World Health Organization Prequalification programme for vector control, the gold-standard specification referenced by the WHO, UNICEF, and the Global Fund.
- EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) — formally authorized for market release across the European Union as a treated article, with the dossier maintained for permethrin as the active substance.
- 156-count mesh / 25 holes per cm² — the structural mesh density used across the WHO long-lasting-net category for mosquito bite prevention.
- 75-denier polyester fibre, independently tested — for seam strength, mesh integrity, and wash resistance across the full three-year lifecycle.
Before you decide.
Should I choose Rondo Uno or Rondo Due?
Is the Rondo safe to sleep under every night?
Does the permethrin smell, stain, or transfer onto the bedding?
What kind of ceiling do I need?
Will the Rondo fit my bed?
Mosticare exists to protect people from the world's deadliest animal without poisoning the room in which they sleep. The Rondo is a quiet, certified way to do that over the beds that matter — at home, in the countryside, in the villa, or anywhere the mosquito has reached you first. Hang one above the bed and make the decision once.
