  • 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

  • Absolutely Tremendous for Keeping Ticks Away!
Style: 24-oz Trigger Spray / Twin Pack
Let me tell you, folks, I know ticks. I know them better than anyone. They’re nasty, they’re relentless, they want to ruin your turkey season—they want to ruin your LIFE! But guess what? Not happening. Not with this. Sawyer Permethrin Spray—it’s a total game-changer. Maybe the best tick repellent in the world. Probably is. I used this before heading out for turkey season, and let me tell you—zero ticks. Not one. They didn’t stand a chance. It’s like they knew—"Oh no, this guy sprayed Sawyer, we can’t go near him!" Smart ticks. They saw this product and they RAN. The application? So easy. You just spray it on your clothes, let it dry, and boom—you’re untouchable. It lasts six weeks or six washes, which, by the way, is incredible. Some sprays last a couple of hours—pathetic! But this? This gives you weeks of dominance over ticks. And it’s not just ticks—mosquitoes, chiggers, all the little annoying insects—they’re gone. Completely gone. You walk into the woods, and you OWN the woods. It’s like a force field. Folks, if you’re going into the woods, if you’re hunting, hiking, or just don’t want ticks crawling all over you—you NEED this. No excuses. Don’t be like the people who don’t use Sawyer and come back covered in ticks—total losers. Get the best. Get protected. Get Sawyer Permethrin Spray. Believe me, you’ll thank me later. ... show more

  • Perfect for preventing malaria spread
Style: 24-oz Trigger Spray
I used this on my clothes when visiting a rainforest in Madagascar at the suggestion of my state’s health department to minimize the opportunity for malaria spread. It worked like a champ of keeping mosquitoes off of my clothing, I only wish I had worn longer socks sprayed with the stuff because that is where I got bit most. Honestly it’s super easy to apply, super convenient, and durable. I appreciated the extra protection it provided. I did underestimate how much I would need in order to spray my clothes but it worked out fine, I just didn’t wear clothes with the permethrin sprayed on it on the last day when we left. ... 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

  • Don't go turkey hunting without using this.
Style: 24-oz Trigger Spray
A must have item for those who spend time out in the spring and summer. I use it on my turkey hunting clothes. Forgot one year and had two dozen tick bites on a trip. Never again, this stuff works when sprayed on your clothers and allowed to dry before wearing them.

  • Great protection if you spend time in the woods.
Style: 4.5-oz Trigger Spray / 6-Pack
The best packaging option for folks who are looking for pyrethrin to treat their clothing to prevent woodtick bites. Spray it on, let it dry, wear your clothing. It lasts quite a while, so no need to reapply frequently.

  • Good level of protection
Style: 24-oz Trigger Spray / Twin Pack
Sprayed my family’s clothes before a trip to Africa. I believe we faired much better than those in our group who didn’t spray their clothes. I think between the 3 of us we had 6 bites.
