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.

  • Worked fantastically with other prevention steps -- ALMOST NO MOSQUITO BITES AFTER NINE DAYS IN THE JUNGLE!!!
Style: 24-oz 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

  • My Go-To Bite Preventer
Style: 24-oz Trigger Spray
Thank to the recommendation of a guide, I have used this spray on my clothes for at least 5 trips into buggy area, and I pass on the recommendation to all tourmates. I hang the clothes from the garage door on a calm day at least a week before a trip. I concentrate of thorough spraying the pants at the knees and below, arms and collars of shirt, above-shoe portions of socks and let them dry completely. Then I leave them hanging in the house till packing time. Even though directions tell you not to, I apply a light coat to the underside of hat brims and to a bandana that I can use to swish bugs away or tie at my neck above a shirt collar. Again, I dry them thoroughly and don't pack them till the day before the trip. I also take B-12, which is supposed to help make you smell bad to bugs. I have rarely been bitten or even bothered by mosquitos while out taking photos of birds, animals and the countryside in jungly, wooded, buggy places. Add some Deet for exposed skin, and you are good to go! ... show more

  • Protects Gear in the Worst Bug Environments
Style: 24-oz Trigger Spray
I treated all my packs, hat brim, and tent exterior with this prior to a summer trip into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness; a time when biting flies and mosquitoes are at their prime. This did a great job preventing the pests from making a permanent home in those spots and definitely kept them away from my face when applied across my bucket hat brim. Adhere the application warnings and your trip experienced will be less hampered by pests. ... show more

  • Unclear if this is worth the money
Style: 24-oz Trigger Spray
I had been eyeing a Permethrin treatment for years, but could never bring myself to spend the money on it and had always relied on picaridin bug repellent lotion instead. I had a canoeing/backpacking trip to Alaska planned for the summer and had no idea what the mosquitoes would be like but feared the worst, so I invested in this to treat a couple of outfits. Application went smooth enough. I even treated a hat on the outside, though it said on the instructions not to treat hats. It didn't say why, though. Is this stuff bad to touch your skin? That was a little worrisome. There was no noticeable odor or discoloration after the treated clothes dried. In Alaska, I never really had mosquito problems. I used Picaradin and had permethrin treated clothes on most of the time. Nobody else really had mosquito problems either, though, so it is unclear if the permethrin did anything. Perhaps in the future I will find a way to do a better test on whether this stuff works well or not. For now, I am hesitant to recommend it at the price they charge for it and its limited lifetime. ... show more

  • A Must-Have for Serious Outdoor Adventures
Style: 24-oz Trigger Spray
I can’t recommend Sawyer Products SP657 Premium Permethrin Insect Repellent highly enough! I recently used it during two demanding trips: a 60-mile paddle trek through the Atchafalaya Swamp and a 100-mile paddle trek through the Minnesota Boundary Waters. Locals in both Minnesota and Louisiana joke how their state bird is the mosquito and they're not far off, but this stuff kept those bloodsuckers at bay under even those demanding conditions. I applied the permethrin to my tent and clothing, and I was amazed at how effectively it kept those pesky mosquitoes at bay. Even in the most challenging environments, I didn’t have to deal with swarms of bugs, allowing me to fully enjoy my outdoor experience without constant swatting and itching. Application was straightforward, and I appreciated that it has a low odor, which is a plus for anyone who prefers not to smell like a chemical factory while enjoying nature. Another significant advantage is that it remained effective even after multiple washes, ensuring that my gear stayed protected throughout the trips. If you’re planning any outdoor activities in mosquito-heavy areas, this is an essential product to have. It truly makes a difference in your comfort and overall experience in the wild. Trust me, you won’t regret adding this to your outdoor gear! ... show more
