Description

For use on clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor gear, Sawyer Permethrin repels or kills disease-spreading ticks (Lyme disease), mosquitoes (West Nile and Zika viruses) and more than 55 other kinds of insects. Perfect for camping, backpacking, hunting, travel, backyard BBQs, picnics, and more. Permethrin insect and tick repellent adds an odorless layer of protection to shirts, jackets, pants, socks, shoes, sleeping bags, tents, netting, and other outdoor, camping, hunting, and travel gear. A University of Rhode Island study (2017) found that people wearing Permethrin-treated shoes and socks were 73.6 times less likely to have a tick bite than those wearing untreated footwear. Using it on outdoor gear also helps reduce the mosquito population in your camp and prevents ticks from attaching to you. Permethrin spray bonds to fabric fibers for up to 6 weeks (42 days) of exposure to sun or 6 washings. Sawyer Permethrin does not come out from sweat or water contact. It only degrades via UV exposure or the agitation of a washing machine. Specially formulated not to stain or damage your clothing, other fabrics, gear, and equipment, it's odorless after drying and is as effective as 100% DEET. To apply, spray Permethrin directly onto clothing and gear with a slow sweeping motion, keeping the bottle about 6 to 8 inches away, and treating each side of the garment for about 30 seconds. The EPA recommends using 4.5 ounces of Permethrin to spray each outfit (consisting of shirt, pants, and socks). Maximize protection by pairing with Sawyer Picaridin topical repellent for the skin. 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.

    • It works!
Size: 24 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Trigger Spray
This really works! Neither my husband or I get any bug bites (ticks, chiggers, and mosquito's) wearing pants, long sleeve shirts and socks permeated with Permethrin. We have used it in the summer for about 3 years now. On the last hike in the woods about half of us had used this product and the other half used bug spray. The bug spray folks had several bites but us with the treated clothes had none. I find a 24oz bottle covers about 3 sets of clothes. (shirt, pants, socks). It does not have a smell that lingers after it is dry on the clothes. Although initially you can sort of feel there is something on the clothes it is not objectionable and that goes away after the first washing. It does last about 4-6 washings but it is a gradual decrease in effectiveness. The only negative is your hand gets tired from using the pump spray but highly recommend using if you are going to be in areas with biting bugs ... show more

    • Should help keep Ticks away
Size: 24 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Trigger Spray
So far I have been pleased. This is easy to use and has clear directions. While I can't say it is a great value, it does appear to be a high quality product and you pay for quality. There is NO noticeable odor or discoloration to any of the fabrics or lathers that I have applied it on. Overall I have been very pleased with the quality and performance. Though I doubt their claim for 4-5 outfits from this one bottle. I am probably applying it a bit heavy, as I only get 3 pairs of shoes and 2 outfits out of a bottle. As far as effectiveness, I am using this for ticks, and while I can say I have not gotten any ticks on me while wearing clothes treated with Sayer Permethrin, I can't say that it will always work either. Suggestion to Sawyer: Can you offer your products in a bulk concentrate form? Then allow customers to dilute and apply themselves. It would really help with the value if you offer a lower cost per once of permethrin concentrate option. ... show more

    • Worked fantastically with other prevention steps -- ALMOST NO MOSQUITO BITES AFTER NINE DAYS IN THE JUNGLE!!!
Size: 24 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Trigger Spray
I just came back from a nine-day trip deep into the Peruvian jungle -- into the reserve part of Manu National Park. It was an incredible journey! Fantastic nature, and incredibly isolated and pristine (an area never disturbed, and still inhabited by non-contacted peoples). But ahead of time I was extremely nervous about mosquito bites, because twice in the last ten years or so I have been to the emergency clinic with dozens of bug bites and a very strong allergic reaction to them. I practically obsessed over what to do to prevent mosquito bites as much as possible, because I have had such a strong reaction to bug bites, and the jungle is certainly full of mosquitos and other biting insects!. I am very happy to say that everything that I did worked -- I got very few bites, and I didn't even notice them until I searched for them. Everyone else in our group got plenty of bites, and they were itching like crazy, but not me!!! Here is what I did and what I brought: 1. I have a Peruvian friend who is a doctor. He told me to take Vitamin B complex every day for a week before the trip and every day in the jungle. I used these: Nature Made Super B Complex Tablets, Value Size, 360 Count 2. I bought two bottles of this Permethrin spray and very carefully sprayed ALL of my clothing, carefully following the directions on the bottle. I sprayed all of my clothing at home in my garage, and then packed it all in these giant ziploc bags: Ziploc Big Bag Double Zipper, Large, 5-Count (by the way, those bags were great for packing everything and really helped to keep things from getting too damp in the 100% humidity jungle!). I sprayed the three pairs of hiking pants I brought, three long-sleeved shirts, all of my thick hiking socks, and my sunhat (both sides). I put extra spray at all openings - pant cuffs, shirt cuffs, and shirt button seams.While there I always tucked my pants legs into my socks. The tour company had suggested wearing a cotton t-short under long-sleeved shirts because the mosquitoes bite through clothing, but I never did that; I didn't need to as I just didn't get bites through the Permethrin-sprayed clothing. This stuff really worked, as I did not get bites through my Permethrin-treated clothing! 3. I took the antihistamine Loratidine (generic for Claritin, this one: GoodSense Allergy Relief Loratadine Tablets, 10 mg, 30 Count Bottle) as a prophylactic every morning, to prevent my strong reaction to bites. This worked GREAT -- I did get a few bites, as I could see the tiny red dots, but I didn't feel anything at all from them! I took only enough for the days that I was in the jungle. In the two days in Cusco before returning to the US I started itching a little on a couple of bites. In hindsight I should have taken a few extra tablets to take in the next few days after the trip. (Another hint - some people get drowsy on this stuff; I tested it first at home before going on my trip. There are other OTC non-drowsy antihistamines you can try if this doesn't work, like the generic for Zyrtec.) 4. I bought DEET. In my paranoia about insect bites and my prior reaction to them, I bought several different versions of DEET -- spray, wipes, and lotion, but I used only this spray, and only three times: Repel 94101 6-Ounce Sportsmen Max Insect Repellent 40-Percent DEET Pump Spray, Case Pack of 1. That bottle is plenty for lots of people; to minimize weight and volume in your pack you might even want to put it into a smaller travel-sized spray bottle. I sprayed the backs of my hands, and then wiped from the backs of my hands onto my neck, cheeks, and forehead. 5. I had a mosquito head net that I purchased many years ago. Amazon has others but not the one that I have, so I can't give a link. I used this only two or three times when the mosquitos were especially thick. I had sprayed this also with Permethrin before leaving home. 6. I also brought with me an over the counter anti-itch creme (hydrocortisone), and a prescription-strength anti-itch creme (Clobetisol). I never used either one!!!!! But my travelling partners sure were happy that I had it so they could use it! I also had Sting Eze (StingEze Max2 Insect Bite Itch Relief Dauber, 0.5-Ounce), but this too I never needed, and my travelling friends were very happy to use. I worried a LOT before the trip about getting mosquito bites and my reaction to them. Really worried. I questioned my sanity for going! But with this Permethrin spray and everything else I did to prep, I had NO problems with mosquitos and I was able to totally enjoy the trip!!!! ... show more

    • Good insect repellent. Not cheap.
Size: 24 Fl Oz (Pack of 2) Style: Trigger Spray
This insect repellent works well and is easy to use on clothing and outdoor gear. I like having the extra protection when spending time outside. My only complaint is that it is not cheap compared to other insect repellents, so I’m giving it 4 stars.

    • What a difference this product made!!!
Size: 24 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Trigger Spray
Pleasantly surprised! After working in the field the previous weekend, I probably had at least 50, if not more, ticks! I suffered for a week with the itch/pain and irritation of the residual tick and insect bites, over my ankles and body. After treating my clothing with the detailed and easy-to-follow instructions, I came back with ZERO bites or ticks after working this past weekend! I was working in dense fields/forrests. My clothing had no significant smell after the drying/treatment process. I laundered my clothing as per usual, and it came out great! THANK YOU!!! ... show more

    • Love this stuff!
Size: 24 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Trigger Spray
My kid golfs a lot during the spring, summer and fall. We live where there’s all kinds of ticks and until winter hits for snow and negative 0 temps, they’re out there. Also found a lone star tick in the back yard, and many cases of Lyme reported over the years. The thought of my kid having to go through strong antibiotic rounds for Lyme, get a lifelong meat allergy, or permanent neurological damage is terrifying. While I’m not out on the course, I did spray down the shoes, and golf bags for walking not using a cart. When spraying down one of the golf bags in the garage, I left it and went back in and a beetle was basically having a stroke on the floor and died right in front of me. I assume it grazed the bag! I haven’t seen a tick on him but always inspect to be safe. Having his shoes and bags treated when walking the course gives me peace of mind. The Lyme org website states that just having the shoes alone treated with permethrin reduces a tick bite by ~70%. The bottle sprayer kinda sucks so I got different spray bottles for it. Definitely use this in a well ventilated area and wear gloves! It does reek like pesticides at first but there is no smell once dried. Just did the one for the team today and have already done the shoes twice as it has to be reapplied after 6 weeks/washes. Also have already purchased more since the first. Amazon seems to always have the best price. Was sealed well both times and no leaking. Will be buying again! ... show more

This stuff is the bomb!! I have suffered from chigger bites on my ankles no matter how I covered them with socks, pants and gators. The itching lasted for weeks. Somehow they always worked their way to my skin. I treated socks, pants and gators with this stuff and it completely ended the bites. Just as advertised, this stuff lasts after treatment for weeks. This is a game changer for me in enjoying the outdoors! Highly recommended!! ... show more
