Product Description
Developed in cooperation with the U.S. Military, government agencies, universities and others; this Sawyer Clothing repellent offers superior protection from disease-carryingbiting insects. The active ingredient, Permethrin is a synthetic molecule similar to those found in natural pyrethrum which is taken from the Chrysanthemum flower. Not only doesthis product repel insects, but will actually kill ticks, mosquitoes, chiggers, mites and more than 55 other kinds of insects. Sawyer Permethrin repellent is for use on your clothing, tents and other gear. A single application lasts up to six weeks and will remain effective even if you wash the garment once a week. Permethrin is odorless when dry, and during the drying process it tightly bonds with the fibers of the treated garment, it will not stain or damage clothing, fabrics, plastics, finished surfaces, or any of your outdoor gear. Try our two easy-to-use treatment methods: aerosol spray and NEW soak system. Both methods provide protection from mosquitoes and ticks through 6 launderings.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT! (unless you love chigger bites) I would rate it a 0 if I could. I was fooled by the advertising of this product. After carefully applying exactly according to directions, I confidently headed off into the woods to weedeat/clear some local mountainbike trails. I was covered from head to toe...boots, pants tied shut at ankles, long sleeves, gloves. Soaked everything the day before with this product. 2 days later (that's when chigger infestations show themselves) my neck looks like I'm wearing a red turtleneck! It's awful. The chigs crawled up the treated shoes, up the treated pants, up the treated shirt until they found my open neck. Today I'm in so much discomfort I'm just plain mad. I'm going back to the age-old "sulfer-powder" dusting that folks have used for years. Of course, that product does not make any money for big corporations, or have any wonderful-sounding marketing hype. (rant over)

Does a fine job on furniture with a flea problem. Instructions indicate for use on clothes against mosquitoes and ticks. The active ingredient permethrin is suitable for killing insects indiscriminately. Has no odor and recent research indicates its effects on humans is minimal.

We purchased this for a hike that we were doing this year, and previously at this same area we had a serious problem with Ticks. This year we didn't even see any ticks so I can't say if this product would have helped in that area. But, we did see a lot of mosquitoes, and of the 5 of us that went there was a total of 1 bite, for both days we were in the woods.
The spray doesn't seem to repel the mosquitoes, since we saw a lot of them, and had them buzzing around us. I am not sure of its killing power since I didn't see any dead mosquitoes on my clothes. But I didn't see any live mosquitoes on my clothes either.
It was kind of a hassle treating the clothes prior to the trip, so I would only recommend this product if you knew you were going to a bug infested location for a few days. Otherwise use a more convenient bug spray.
