Durable 0.5% Permethrin Clothing Insecticide Spray (8 Oz)

Permethrin is a synthetic insecticide that serves as a replica of the natural insecticide pyrethrum, which is derived from the flowers of the daisy chrysanthemum. Developed and tested by the U.S. military for use on uniforms, permethrin utilizes the same active ingredient found in hair shampoos for treating head lice. When applied to clothing, bed nets, tents, or gear, the treated fabric repels or kills biting insects, including mosquitoes that may carry West Nile virus, Yellow Fever, or Malaria, as well as ticks that may carry Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

Once permethrin dries, it bonds to the cloth fiber or mesh netting, making it odorless and non-staining. This insecticide is water-based, biodegradable, and virtually non-toxic to humans, with no reported systemic effects. When used in conjunction with a DEET-based insect repellent on exposed skin, permethrin-treated clothing can provide nearly 100% protection against disease-carrying mosquitoes and ticks.

The product is available in various sizes of trigger spray bottles, offering versatile coverage options: - 8 oz. Trigger Spray: Treats 1 set of clothing and 1 additional garment - 12 oz. Trigger Spray: Treats 2 sets of clothing - 16 oz. Trigger Spray: Treats 2 sets of clothing and 1 additional garment - 32 oz. Quart Trigger Sprayer: Treats 5 sets of clothing - 128 oz. Gallon Trigger Sprayer: Treats 20 sets of clothing

It's important to note that a "set of clothing" refers to 1 long-sleeved shirt, 1 pair of pants, and 1 pair of socks. The product offers up to 6 weeks of protection or through 6 launderings, and it is safe to use on natural or synthetic fibers. Once dry, the insecticide becomes odorless, making it an ideal choice for offering protection from mosquito bites.
