Sawyer Permethrin Spray

No, this product is specifically formulated for use on clothing, tents, and outdoor gear only. It should not be applied to your skin; for skin protection, you should use a separate repellent designed for topical application.

No, the formula is non-staining and safe for use on synthetics, cotton, and waterproof membranes. It bonds to the fabric fibers without damaging the material or leaving a greasy residue.

Once applied and dried, the treatment remains effective for up to six weeks or six washings, whichever comes first. It is designed to withstand exposure to the elements while you are camping or hiking.

No, the treatment is odorless once it has fully dried on your gear. You may notice a slight scent during the initial application, but it dissipates completely as the spray bonds to the fabric.

While it is effective against ticks and mosquitoes on human gear, you should not use this product on pets or their bedding. Permethrin can be toxic to cats and other animals, so it is best to keep it strictly for your own outdoor equipment.

Spray the product onto your clothing or gear until it is slightly damp, ensuring you cover all surfaces. Allow the items to air dry completely before wearing or packing them, as the protection only becomes active once the treatment has bonded to the fabric.
