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.
@KiwiJohn51 Maybe, but I don’t see the listing off-hand.
“Sawyer Permethrin repels or kills disease-spreading ticks (Lyme disease), mosquitoes (West Nile and Zika viruses) and more than 55 other kinds of insects.” https://www.sawyer.com/products/permethrin-fabric-treatment
Odorless after drying, Sawyer Permethrin Fabric Treatment can be used to treat a variety of fabrics like clothing, gear, and tents. A successful application of this insect repellent treatment is effective against mosquitoes and ticks for 6 weeks or 6 washes.
