## Overview

Sawyer SP618 Premium Permethrin Spray offers up to 6 weeks of odorless, fabric-bonded insect protection against over 55 species, including ticks and mosquitoes. Proven to reduce tick bites by 73.6 times when applied to footwear, this 18-ounce aerosol treats 4 full outfits and withstands sweat and water exposure without staining or damaging gear—ideal for camping, hiking, hunting, and travel.

## 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used on chinlon fabric?**
A: you could test small portion -chinlon can be less durable fabric although I have used on nylon, polyester, spandyx, lycra

**Q: By mistake i sprayed my pants inside out. fabric is really really thin, so they're soaking. should i just leave them like that? are they ok to wear?**
A: Wait till they dry first

**Q: Does it kill fleas?**
A: Yeah, it would certainly kill fleas and almost anything else that would touch it. Be careful about that though, it's not good for cats and small pets to touch it. So you definitely can't use it on a pet, and shouldn't use it in an area that might have pets later. But if you've got a flea issue to fix and no pets, sure.

**Q: Will permethrin prevent yellow jackets from landing on my clothing?**
A: Sawyer Products Premium Permethrin Clothing Insect Repellent will provide repellent action against yellow jackets, however, use of a personal repellent on exposed skin is recommended.
