Premium Permethrin Insect Repellent for Clothing, Gear & Tents

Sawyer Permethrin is a versatile insect and tick repellent spray that can be applied to a wide range of outdoor gear, including clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and other equipment. This product is designed to effectively repel or kill more than 55 different types of insects, including disease-carrying ticks that can transmit Lyme disease and mosquitoes that can spread West Nile and Zika viruses.

The Permethrin formula is ideal for use during various outdoor activities, such as camping, backpacking, hunting, travel, backyard BBQs, and picnics. It creates an odorless layer of protection that bonds to the fabric fibers, lasting for up to 6 weeks or 6 washings, whichever comes first. The spray does not stain or damage clothing, fabrics, plastics, or other outdoor gear, and it remains effective even in the presence of sweat or water. The product's effectiveness is only reduced through exposure to UV light or the agitation of a washing machine.

According to a 2017 study conducted at the University of Rhode Island, people who wore Permethrin-treated shoes and socks were 73.6 times less likely to experience a tick bite compared to those wearing untreated footwear. Using Permethrin on outdoor gear can also help reduce the mosquito population in your camping area and prevent ticks from attaching to your body.

To apply Sawyer Permethrin, simply spray it directly onto clothing and gear, maintaining a distance of about 6 to 8 inches and treating each side of the garment for approximately 30 seconds. The EPA recommends using 4.5 ounces of Permethrin to spray each complete outfit, which includes a shirt, pants, and socks.

For maximum protection, Sawyer Products suggests pairing the Permethrin spray with their Picaridin topical repellent for the skin. Sawyer has a reputation for offering the best and most technologically advanced solutions for various outdoor needs, from first aid kits developed for wilderness use to water filters that can purify contaminated water to levels cleaner than US bottled water.

In summary, Sawyer Permethrin is a versatile and effective insect and tick repellent that can be applied to a wide range of outdoor gear, providing long-lasting protection against a variety of pests. Its odorless formula, durability, and compatibility with various fabrics and materials make it an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts, campers, hunters, and anyone seeking reliable protection against disease-carrying insects.
