## Overview

Sawyer SP649 Premium Permethrin Spray offers a powerful, odorless insect and tick repellent that bonds to fabrics for up to 6 weeks or 6 washes. Proven to reduce tick bites by over 73 times when applied to footwear, it protects against more than 55 insect species including mosquitoes carrying Lyme, West Nile, and Zika viruses. Safe for use on clothing, gear, tents, and sleeping bags without staining or damage, this 12-ounce trigger spray is a must-have for millennial professionals who demand reliable, long-lasting outdoor protection.

## 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.

Review: Very good product but not used it yet. Good for soaking your children's night clothes. It can withstand 6 hand washes. Soak your children's night clothes and dry them. This will keep them safe in the night, especially during power outages in areas with heavy mosquitoes. You can spray on mosquito nets, hiking gear and evening clothes too. I highly recommend this product.
Review: Shipping was stupid money, feels like I got ripped off quite nicely. Didn’t realize until the product arrived. Totally my mistake, but almost US$40,00 Shipping for a plastic bottle is crap.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to buy a refill for the spray bottle? I do not want to throw the pump in the trash for each bottle I order.  Great product**
A: I'm not sure if you can for this product but there are many concentrated permethrin solutions around that you can buy and dilute to make your own refills. I bought the Martin brand one that's 10% concentrated so you just dilute it at a 20:1 ratio to bring it down to the .5% of this product and away you go.

**Q: Approximately how many articles of clothing does the 12 ounce bottle treat?**
A: The company defines an outfit per 3 oz. as adult sized 1 pair long pants, 1 long sleeved shirt, 1 pair of socks, and 1 pair of shoes. 12 oz does 4 outfits of their definition. Be sure to include shoe bottoms. Underwear are not done except socks. They have videos on this on youtube and at REI.

**Q: would it be a good idea to spray some of this in a reptile cage to kill mites? I wouldn't want to harm my snake, but the mites need to go.**
A: I suggest that you try clove oil & cottonseed oil, both toxic to insects.  I used a 25 % clove oil / 75 % cottonseed oil mix & painted it on my dog's mange spots with a good outcome (no visible mange; demodex mites cause mange) -- I also gave my dog Ivermectin by mouth in hotdogs.  Pure Clove oil might be more potent, but it also could irritate skin.

**Q: Before I purchased said can spray on pets. Bottle says can’t spray on pets. Which is it?**
A: NOT FOR PETS, looking at one of my bottles now and it specifically says "Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals: Avoid contact with face, eyes, or skin. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mist. Harmful if swallowed. .....hope this helps.  I use this to control dust mites personally in my home/environment and it is excellent.  I spray it on my clothing and also on some of my furniture (fabric recliner) because my allergies are so severe.  This works very well for me and has saved me tremendous aggravation and itching!
