• Sawyer Permethrin stays effective despite sweat or water, degrades via UV exposure or washing machine agitation; Each 18-ounce convenient aerosol spray treats 4 outfits (EPA now reconmends 4.5 ounces per outfit consisting of shirt, pants, and socks)

• Select the clothing, tents, or gear you wish to treat. Ensure items are clean and dry. Lay them flat outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, like a garage or patio, away from direct skin contact. — Prepare Your Gear
• Hold the bottle 6-8 inches away and spray with a slow, sweeping motion. Treat each side of the garment evenly for approximately 30 seconds, ensuring thorough coverage. Use about 4.5 ounces per outfit (shirt, pants, socks). — Apply the Permethrin Spray
• This is crucial. Let the treated items dry completely outdoors. This can take at least 4 full days in dry, sunny climates or up to two weeks in humid or cooler conditions. The spray must be fully dry before use. — Allow Complete Drying
• Once dry, the treated items are ready for use and provide protection for up to 6 weeks or 6 washes. Store treated items in a sealed bag or container until needed. Pair with a topical repellent for exposed skin. — Store and Use
