Sawyer Products Premium Permethrin Insect Repellent for Clothing, Gear & Tents
Your Clothes Work Harder So You Don't Have To
Picture this: you're deep in the woods, on the water, or setting up camp at dusk — and not a single bug bothers you. Sawyer's Premium Permethrin Insect Repellent bonds directly to fabric fibers, creating an invisible shield that lasts up to 6 weeks or 6 washings. Treat it once, forget about it, and go enjoy the outdoors.
Dramatically Reduces Tick Bites
A University of Rhode Island study found that treating shoes and socks with Permethrin reduces the likelihood of a tick bite by 73.6 times. Treat your shoes, socks, pants, and jacket — and pair with Sawyer Picaridin topical repellent for maximum full-body protection.
Effective Against 55+ Insect Species
- Ticks carrying Lyme disease
- Mosquitoes carrying West Nile, Zika & Chikungunya viruses
- Chiggers, spiders, mites, and more
Safe for Clothing & All Your Gear
Fragrance-free when dry, Permethrin won't stain or damage clothing, fabrics, plastics, finished surfaces, or outdoor gear. Safe to use on shirts, jackets, pants, socks, shoes, boots, sleeping bags, tents, and netting.
Stays Effective Through Sweat & Water
Unlike topical repellents, Permethrin bonds to fabric and stays effective despite sweat or water exposure — degrading only via UV exposure or washing machine agitation over time.
Perfect for Every Outdoor Adventure
Backpacking, camping, hunting, fishing, hiking, backyard BBQs — this is the one treatment that goes on your gear so you can go anywhere. Each 18 oz aerosol treats 4 complete outfits (shirt, pants, and socks).
Pro tip: Maximize protection by pairing with Sawyer Picaridin topical insect repellent for skin.
