Sawyer Products Premium Permethrin Insect Repellent for Clothing, Gear & Tents, Trigger Spray, 12-Ounce, Twin Pack

Sawyer Permethrin, a versatile insect and tick repellent, offers a reliable solution for protecting your clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor gear. This formulation effectively repels or kills a wide range of disease-spreading insects, including ticks (Lyme disease), mosquitoes (West Nile and Zika viruses), and more than 55 other types. Ideal for a variety of outdoor activities, such as camping, backpacking, hunting, travel, backyard BBQs, and picnics, Permethrin adds an odorless layer of protection to your apparel and equipment.

A 2017 study conducted at the University of Rhode Island found that individuals wearing Permethrin-treated shoes and socks were 73.6 times less likely to experience a tick bite compared to those using untreated footwear. By applying Permethrin to your outdoor gear, you can also help reduce the mosquito population in your camp and prevent ticks from attaching to you.

The Permethrin spray bonds to fabric fibers, providing up to 6 weeks (42 days) of protection against sun exposure or surviving up to 6 washings, whichever occurs first. Importantly, Sawyer Permethrin does not wash off due to sweat or water contact, and it only degrades through UV exposure or the agitation of a washing machine. Specially formulated to be non-staining and non-damaging to your clothing, fabrics, plastics, and outdoor gear, Permethrin is odorless once dried and as effective as 100% DEET.

To apply, simply spray Permethrin directly onto your clothing and gear, maintaining a distance of approximately 6 to 8 inches and treating each side of the garment for about 30 seconds. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using 4.5 ounces of Permethrin to spray each outfit, which typically consists of a shirt, pants, and socks. For maximum protection, consider pairing Permethrin with Sawyer's Picaridin topical repellent for your skin.
