Sawyer Premium Permethrin Insect Repellent for Clothing, Gear & Tents, 24-Ounce

Sawyer Permethrin is a versatile insect and tick repellent ideal for use on a variety of outdoor gear, including clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and more. Designed to repel or kill over 55 types of insects, it is effective against disease-spreading ticks that cause Lyme disease, as well as mosquitoes that transmit West Nile and Zika viruses.

Perfect for activities like camping, backpacking, hunting, travel, backyard barbecues, and picnics, Sawyer Permethrin adds an odorless layer of protection to fabrics. A University of Rhode Island study in 2017 found that people wearing Permethrin-treated shoes and socks were 73.6 times less likely to experience a tick bite compared to those using untreated footwear. Using Permethrin on outdoor gear also helps reduce mosquito populations in your campsite and prevents ticks from attaching to you.

The Permethrin spray bonds to fabric fibers, providing protection for up to 6 weeks or 6 washings, whichever comes first. Unlike other repellents, Sawyer Permethrin does not come off with sweat or water contact; it only degrades through UV exposure or the agitation of a washing machine. Specially formulated to be non-staining and non-damaging to clothing, fabrics, plastics, and outdoor equipment, the odorless formula is as effective as 100% DEET.

To apply, simply spray Permethrin directly onto clothing and gear, keeping the bottle 6-8 inches away and treating each side for about 30 seconds. The EPA recommends using 4.5 ounces of Permethrin to spray each outfit, consisting of a shirt, pants, and socks. For maximum protection, Sawyer Permethrin can be paired with their Picaridin topical repellent for the skin.
