SAWYER PERMETHRIN INSECT REPELLENT FOR CLOTHING GEAR AND TENTS

Permethrin is a fabric insect repellent treatment with a chemical make-up similar to the organic compounds produced by Chrysanthemum-like flowers.

Sawyer Permethrin can be applied on clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor gear.

It is more than just an insect repellent — it actually kills ticks, mosquitoes, spiders, chiggers, mites, and more than 55 other kinds of insects.

It does not harm any fabrics or finishes and the treatment is 100% odorless after drying.

Once the insect repellent has completely dried and bonded with the fabric fibers, it will last for 6 weeks or 6 washes.

The treatment does not deteriorate in the rain or in water, it is the heavy agitation of a washing machine or outdoor exposure that slowly breaks down the permethrin insect repellent.
