About

Sawyer Permethrin Insect Repellent is a durable and effective treatment for clothing and outdoor gear. It is a synthetic version of pyrethrin, derived from the chrysanthemum flower, and is designed to repel or kill over 55 types of insects, including ticks, mosquitoes, spiders, chiggers, and mites. This repellent is particularly effective against disease-carrying insects like those that transmit Lyme disease and Zika virus. Sawyer Permethrin bonds to fabric fibers, providing protection that lasts up to six weeks or six washings. The product is odorless and non-staining after drying, making it suitable for various fabrics, including cotton, wool, and synthetic blends. It is safe for use on clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor gear. Sawyer Permethrin can also be applied to dogs to control fleas and ticks. It is recommended to apply the treatment outdoors and allow it to dry before use. Combining Sawyer Permethrin with topical repellents like Sawyer Picaridin enhances overall protection against insects.
