It’s odorless when dry, won’t damage fabrics or gear, and is scientifically proven to reduce tick bites by over 73 times. Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable, hassle-free insect defense on every adventure. ## 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. ## Features - Permethrin spray bonds to fabric fibers for up to 6 weeks or through 6 washings (whichever comes first) won't stain or damage clothing, fabrics, plastics, finished surfaces, or outdoor gear; fragrance free - Reduce likelihood of a tick bite by 73.6 times by treating shoes and socks with Permethrin (University of Rhode Island study - 2017); maximize protection by pairing with Sawyer Picaridin topical repellent for the skin - Add a layer of protection to your clothing and gear with Permethrin insect and tick repellent spray — perfect for use on shirts, jackets, pants, socks, shoes, boots, sleeping bags, tents, netting, when outdoors, camping, hunting, or on travel - Ideal for backpacking, backyard BBQs, hunting, and other outdoor activities, it's effective against more than 55 kinds of insects — from disease-spreading ticks (Lyme) and mosquitoes (West Nile, Zika, and Chikungunya) to chiggers, spiders, mites, and more - Sawyer Permethrin stays effective despite sweat or water, degrades via UV exposure or washing machine agitation; Each 18-ounce convenient aerosol spray treats 4 outfits (EPA now reconmends 4.5 ounces per outfit consisting of shirt, pants, and socks) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08HJTXGS3 | | Best Sellers Rank | #119 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #1 in Insect & Pest Repellent Body Sprays | | Brand | Sawyer | | Brand Name | Sawyer | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 41,506 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 10050716006459 | | Included Components | 6 bottles, 1 Trigger spray | | Item Form | 4.5-oz Trigger Spray / 6-Pack | | Item Nype Name | Permethrin Insect Repellent | | Item Volume | 27 Fluid Ounces | | Manufacturer | Sawyer Products | | Manufacturer Part Number | SP645 | | Material Feature | Unscented when completely dry | | Material Features | Unscented when completely dry | | Model Number | SP645 | | Number of Items | 6 | | Scent | Unscented | | Scent Name | Unscented | | Size | 4.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 6) | | UPC | 050716006452 | | Unit Count | 27.0 Ounce | | Warranty Description | Shelf Life of 5+ Years | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sawyer - **Item Form:** 4.5-oz Trigger Spray / 6-Pack - **Item Volume:** 27 Fluid Ounces - **Material Feature:** Unscented when completely dry - **Scent:** Unscented ## Images ![Products Premium Permethrin Insect Repellent for Clothing, Gear & Tents - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QiBGLsJUL.jpg) ![Products Premium Permethrin Insect Repellent for Clothing, Gear & Tents - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Hb+TPHTVL.jpg) ![Products Premium Permethrin Insect Repellent for Clothing, Gear & Tents - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BoSO5cpQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is the bottle neck size 28/400 ? if not what is the size.** A: Not sure but the bottles have no inner seal and leak and no one answers to it when there is an issue. **Q: Can this be used on furniture such as couches or beds?** A: Yes, Sawyer Permethrin can be used to treat a variety of fabrics.
