For use on clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor gear, Sawyer Permethrin is more than just an insect repellent — it actually kills ticks, mosquitoes, spiders, chiggers, mites, and more than 55 other kinds of insects. Permethrin is also effective against the Yellow Fever Mosquito (Aedes Aegypti) which can transmit the Zika Virus as well as ticks that can transmit Lyme, Powassan, and other tick borne diseases. . The EPA recommended dosage is 4.5 oz per outfit (an outfit is a shirt, pants, and socks) so a single can of this 9 oz aerosol spray will treat 2 complete outfits. The twin pack of this aerosol spray will treat 4 complete outfits. Permethrin-treated clothing and fabric should be your first line of defense against insects. Sawyer Permethrin is odorless after drying and will not stain or damage clothing, fabrics, plastics, finished surfaces, or any of your outdoor gear. Use it while hiking or hunting for an odorless way to protect yourself from common bugs. When a tick, mosquito, or other insect comes into contact with Permethrin treated clothing or gear, it absorbs a dose that will either repel or kill the insect. The synthetic version of pyrethrum (a natural insecticide derived from the chrysanthemum flower), Permethrin is non-toxic and registered for use by the U.S. EPA. In addition to clothing and accessories like shoes, boots, and waders, Sawyer Permethrin is ideal for treating backpacks, tents, camp furniture, hammocks, mosquito netting, luggage, and even bed sheets. Since mosquitoes are better hoppers than flyers, adding more Permethrin-treated landing surfaces around you will improve your protection. A single application lasts up to 6 weeks or 6 washes. Repellent should be applied outdoors and before clothing is worn; after it’s treated, hang clothing and let dry 2 hours (4 hours in humid conditions). Maximize protection from mosquitoes and ticks by combining Permethrin with Sawyer Picaridin, an effective and comfortable topical repellent. Since 1984, Sawyer Products has offered the best, most technologically advanced solutions for protection against sun, bugs, water, and injuries -- everything from first aid kits developed for wilderness to point-of-use water filters that filter contaminated water to levels cleaner than U.S. bottled water.
