For use on clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor gear, Sawyer Permethrin Insect Repellant Clothing & Gear Treatment - 24oz is more than just an insect repellent—it actually kills ticks, mosquitoes, chiggers, mites, and more than 55 other kinds of insects. Permethrin is also effective against the Yellow Fever Mosquito, which can transmit the Zika Virus.

Providing a fantastic odorless barrier of protection, a single application of Permethrin lasts for 6 weeks or 6 washings. Using it on outdoor gear also helps reduce the mosquito population in your camp and prevents ticks from attaching to you. If you treat your tent, you can expect full potency for up to 40 days of direct sunlight.

Repellent should be applied outdoors and before clothing is worn; after it's treated, hang clothing and let dry two hours (four hours in humid conditions). Avoid contact with skin and eyes during the application phase.
