Sawyer Products SP618 Premium Permethrin Insect Repellent for Clothing, Gear & Tents, Aerosol Spray, 18-Ounce

Description

For use on clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor gear, Sawyer
Permethrin repels or kills disease-spreading ticks (Lyme disease), mosquitoes
(West Nile and Zika viruses) and more than 55 other kinds of insects. Perfect
for camping, backpacking, hunting, travel, backyard BBQs, picnics, and more,
Permethrin insect and tick repellent adds an odorless layer of protection to
shirts, jackets, pants, socks, shoes, sleeping bags, tents, netting, and other
outdoor, camping, hunting, and travel gear. A University of Rhode Island study
(2017) found that people wearing Permethrin-treated shoes and socks were 73.6
times less likely to have a tick bite than those wearing untreated footwear.
Using it on outdoor gear also helps reduce the mosquito population in your
camp and prevents ticks from attaching to you. Permethrin spray bonds to
fabric fibers for up to 6 weeks (42 days) of exposure to sun and air or 6
washings. Specially formulated not to stain or damage your clothing, other
fabrics, gear, and equipment, it’s odorless after drying and is as effective
as 100% DEET. To apply, spray Permethrin directly onto clothing and gear with
a slow sweeping motion, keeping the bottle about 6 to 8 inches away, and
treating each side of the garment for about 30 seconds. The EPA recommends
using 4.5 ounces of Permethrin to spray each outfit (consisting of shirt,
pants, and socks). Maximize protection by pairing with Sawyer Picaridin
topical repellent for the skin. Since 1984, Sawyer has used technological
advancements to create products that keep you outdoors — from the backcountry
to the backyard — including insect repellents for both skin and clothing,
water filters for camping and emergencies, and sun protection.
