(2 pack) Sawyer Products SP656 Premium Permethrin Clothing and Gear Insect Repellent Trigger Spray, 22.5-Oz

I find myself constantly walking in fields and in the woods where there are heavy amounts of ticks, fleas, and chiggers. Ever since I started treating my clothes with this, I've never been bitten by these bugs. I have found dead ticks on my socks and pants and I thank permethrin for keeping them from biting me. The bottle says it treats 5 outfits, but I've been able to treat many more. You don't need a lot to get clothes fully treated. It is still possible to be bitten by insects while using this product. I didn't mention mosquitoes because permethrin works best on bugs that stay on you for an extended period of time. Ticks, chiggers, and fleas stay on your body to search for a place to bite. Mosquitoes only sit on you long enough to bite and then fly away. The mosquitoes probably still die after contact, but it would be after they've already bitten you. However, this is only a small negative thing, an easy remedy would be to just wear thicker clothes or combine this with DEET. It's also possible that if you treat the clothes more heavily than me, the mosquitoes would die more quickly. Now if you're like me and do a lot of back country, off the trail hiking, you will get a lot of exposure to bugs. In bug heavy areas, this product works best when I tuck my pants into my socks so there is no gap for bugs to reach my legs under my pants. Overall I love this product and I've used it for years! I highly recommend it!

This is one of the best ways to keep the mosquitos off in the summer. I hang my mowing and yard work clothes outside and spray them liberally and let them dry. I don't always wash them between mows, I just use them for that. And it lasts through 6 washings anyway. this way I don't need to put any chemicals directly on my skin, and it really keeps the buggies away. This came quickly, and is a nice large size with a sprayer that works well.
