Product Details
Details
- Add a layer of protection to your clothing and gear with Permethrin insect and tick repellent spray, perfect for use on shirts, jackets, pants, socks, shoes, boots, sleeping bags, tents and netting
- Once treated, the Permethrin bond to fabric fibers is so strong that exposure to physical contact or water will not release significant amounts of the insect repellent
- Extended UV exposure or washing machine agitation is what degrades the insect repellent treatment, much like the dye in a t-shirt
- The EPA recommends using 4.5 oz of permethrin to spray each outfit, treating 4 outfits for full protection
- Permethrin repels mosquitoes that may carry the zika virus, yellow fever, dengue and chikungunya, offering essential protection in areas with mosquito-borne diseases
- Permethrin repels and kills ticks that may carry lyme disease, providing comprehensive protection against tick-borne illnesses
- Sawyer permethrin can be applied to dogs to control fleas and lice for 35 days and ticks for 6 weeks, ensuring pets remain free from parasites
- Sawyer Permethrin is 100% odorless after drying, ensuring you won't be bothered by a lingering chemical smell while enjoying the outdoors
- It does not harm fabrics or finishes and can even be applied to delicate materials like silk without causing damage
- Treating shoes and socks with Permethrin reduces the likelihood of a tick bite by 73.6 times, providing additional protection against ticks and other pests
Features
Sawyer Permethrin is a highly effective insect and tick repellent designed for use on clothing, tents, sleeping bags and other outdoor gear. It repels or kills disease-spreading ticks (such as those carrying Lyme disease), mosquitoes (transmitting West Nile and Zika viruses) and over 55 other types of insects. Perfect for camping, backpacking, hunting, travel and outdoor activities like backyard BBQs or picnics, Permethrin provides an odorless layer of protection for your gear, including shirts, jackets, pants, socks, shoes, sleeping bags, tents and netting. A University of Rhode Island study (2011) found that people wearing Permethrin-treated shoes and socks were 73.6 times less likely to experience tick bites compared to those with untreated footwear. Using it on your outdoor gear not only prevents ticks from attaching but also helps reduce mosquito populations around your camp. Sawyer Permethrin bonds to fabric fibers, offering up to 6 weeks (42 days) of protection or up to 6 washings. It is specially formulated to be safe for your clothing, fabrics and equipment without causing staining or damage and it is as effective as 100% DEET once dry. To apply, spray directly onto clothing and gear using a slow sweeping motion, keeping the bottle 6 to 8 inches away. Treat each side of the garment for about 30 sec. The EPA recommends using 4.5 oz of Permethrin to spray each outfit (shirt, pants and socks). For optimal protection, pair with Sawyer Picaridin topical repellent for your skin.
