I was nervous to deal with liquid insecticide (intense warning label) but I successfully treated my hiking clothes with Sawyer Permethrin Insect Repellant. I used the soak method, which involved using rubber gloves to dump the insecticide on my clothes inside large Zip-loc bags. The pants didn’t really soak up the liquid very well so sprayed them after as well. Once soaked, I hung them to dry on my back porch. 🤞🏼this works. Will test them out this weekend.

@andrewbriscoe that sounds creepy - what's the chemical agent?
@tg9541 0.5% Permethrin. It’s an industrial insecticide. Guessing only legal in the U.S. Supposedly 100% safe once it dries.
@andrewbriscoe that should be safe. For instects, however, it's a slow poison. Better for pest control than as a repellent.
