Sawyer Products Premium Permethrin Clothing Insect Repellent Trigger Spray, Twin Pack

Sawyer Permethrin is a versatile insect and tick repellent suitable for use on a wide range of outdoor gear, including clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and more. Designed to repel and kill disease-spreading ticks (Lyme disease), mosquitoes (West Nile and Zika viruses), and over 55 other types of insects, it provides reliable protection for a variety of outdoor activities, from camping and backpacking to hunting, travel, and backyard barbecues.

Permethrin, the active ingredient in Sawyer's formula, bonds to fabric fibers and creates an odorless layer of protection that lasts for up to 6 weeks or 6 washings, whichever comes first. Unlike DEET, it does not degrade due to sweat or water contact, but rather through exposure to UV light or the agitation of a washing machine. Importantly, Sawyer Permethrin is specially formulated to be gentle on fabrics, gear, and equipment, ensuring it won't stain or damage your outdoor essentials.

The EPA recommends using 4.5 ounces of Permethrin to treat each outfit, which typically consists of a shirt, pants, and socks. To apply, simply spray the solution directly onto the clothing and gear, keeping the bottle about 6 to 8 inches away and covering both sides for around 30 seconds per item. This easy application process helps maximize the protection provided by the Permethrin treatment.

A University of Rhode Island study conducted 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 wearing untreated footwear. This dramatic reduction in the likelihood of tick bites highlights the effectiveness of Sawyer's Permethrin-based solution. To further enhance protection, Sawyer recommends pairing the Permethrin spray with their Picaridin topical repellent for the skin.

Sawyer Products has long been recognized as a leader in providing innovative solutions for outdoor enthusiasts. From first aid kits designed for wilderness settings to point-of-use water filters that produce water cleaner than U.S. bottled water, the company's commitment to delivering the best, most technologically advanced products is evident in the Permethrin insect and tick repellent spray.

Whether you're embarking on a backpacking adventure, enjoying a backyard barbecue, or preparing for a hunting trip, Sawyer Permethrin offers a reliable and versatile way to protect yourself and your gear against a wide range of disease-carrying insects and ticks. With its long-lasting, water-resistant, and fabric-friendly formula, this insect and tick repellent spray is an essential addition to any outdoor enthusiast's arsenal.
