Features

Sawyer Permethrin is a powerful, odorless insect and tick repellent designed for use on clothing, tents, sleeping bags and other outdoor gear. It effectively repels or kills disease-spreading ticks, including those carrying Lyme disease, mosquitoes transmitting West Nile and Zika viruses and over 55 other types of insects. Ideal for activities such as camping, backpacking, hunting, travel and even backyard BBQs, Permethrin adds an extra layer of protection to shirts, jackets, pants, socks, shoes, sleeping bags, tents, netting and more. A University of Rhode Island study (2011) found that individuals wearing Permethrin-treated footwear were 73.6 times less likely to experience a tick bite compared to those with untreated shoes and socks. When applied to outdoor gear, it not only helps prevent ticks from attaching to you but also reduces mosquito populations around your campsite. The formula bonds to fabric fibers for up to 6 weeks (42 days) or 6 washes, offering long-lasting protection. Specially formulated to be safe for fabrics, gear and equipment, Permethrin is odorless after drying and as effective as 100% DEET. To apply, simply spray directly onto your gear with a slow, sweeping motion, keeping the bottle about 6 to 8 inches away and treat each side of the garment for about 30 sec. The EPA recommends using 4.5 oz to spray an outfit (shirt, pants and socks). For maximum protection, pair with Sawyer Picaridin topical repellent for your skin.
