Sawyer 24 oz. Permethrin Clothing Insect Repellant Pump Spray

Item #: 81336

Our Price: $14.99


 
Developed in cooperation with the U.S. Military, government agencies, universities, and others; this Sawyer® Permethrin Clothing Repellent offers superior protection from disease-carrying biting insects. The active ingredient, Permethrin, is a synthetic molecule similar to those found in natural pyrethrum which is taken from the Chrysanthemum flower. Not only does this product repel insect, but will actually kill ticks, mosquitoes, chiggers, mites and more than 55 other kinds of insects. Sawyer® Permethrin insect repellents are for use with clothing, tents, and other gear. A single application lasts 6 washings. Permethrin is odorless when dry, and during the drying process, it tightly bonds with the fibers of the treated garment.This product is to be used as a clothing treatment only. It will not stain or damage clothing, fabrics, plastics, finished surfaces, or any of your outdoor gear. This product must not be applied to clothing while it is being worn. Under no circumstances should bare skin or clothing while on the body be treated. Avoid skin and eyes. 24 Fl oz.

          Followed the directions to a "T" and complimented exposed skin with a 100% DEET product and worked a fence line for 2 days in the woods of SW Missouri..sometimes in thick undergrowth as well as knee high field grass and not ONE tick! I will be using this product again!

          Comments about Sawyer 24 oz. Permethrin Clothing Insect Repellant Pump Spray:

          I treat one pair of pants, one long-sleeve shirt (lightweight nylon) and one pair of socks (wool). When I put these garments on, I experience no ticks. Mosquitoes still attack my hands and face, but these are the only places I need to apply repellant (DEET). I take 7 to 10 day canoe trips in the BWCA and Quetico, and I have been using this stuff ever since I discovered it. I wish Campmor carried the military-spec version, which uses a soaking system instead of a sprayer. The sprayer works most of the time, but if you wait to apply the product just before you leave town and end up with a bad sprayer, you're out of luck.

            I used this spray before my last hike/trail maintenance trip. I wore exam gloves and a surgeon's mask and followed the directions on the package to treat my shirt and pants. I found NO ticks on my clothing or me after the trip.

                I used this on Canadian black bear hunt the second week of June,prime bug season,black flies,mosquitos,no-see-ums,wood flies..The bugs were still there and they were a nuisance but they didn't land on my treated clothing,you still have to take precautions on or around bare skin ie... head net and gloves which I neglected to treat..but worked great on clothing as described...I'll use this on all my back woods trips..

                        • Q:

                          Is this product actually dangerous to get on skin? I have been told that permethrin should not be used on skin because body oils render it ineffective rather quickly. I can accept that it is useless as a repellant on skin, but would really like to know if it will damage skin.
