Sawyer Permethrin Fabric Treatment provides long-lasting protection from ticks, mosquitoes, and other insects by bonding directly to clothing and gear fibers. Once applied, it remains effective for up to 6 weeks or 6 washes, repelling and killing over 55 types of insects including ticks that carry Lyme disease and mosquitoes that spread West Nile and Zika viruses. Ideal for treating shirts, pants, socks, tents, and sleeping bags, it adds an odorless layer of defense for camping, hunting, travel, and everyday outdoor use.
This EPA-approved formula is non-staining, safe on all fabrics, and as effective as 100% DEET when used properly. The University of Rhode Island study confirmed that Permethrin-treated shoes and socks reduce the likelihood of tick bites by over 70 times compared to untreated footwear. Use it to treat garments and equipment before outdoor activities, ensuring long-lasting protection for hiking, camping, hunting, or travel.
