Permethrin Fabric Treatment

More About this Product

完整产品说明

For use on clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor gear, Sawyer Permethrin repels or kills disease-spreading ticks (Lyme disease), mosquitoes (West Nile and Zika viruses) and more than 55 other kinds of insects. Perfect for camping, backpacking, hunting, travel, backyard BBQs, picnics, and more, Permethrin insect and tick repellent adds an odorless layer of protection to shirts, jackets, pants, socks, shoes, sleeping bags, tents, netting, and other outdoor, camping, hunting, and travel gear.

‍

A University of Rhode Island study (2011) found that people wearing Permethrin-treated shoes and socks were 73.6 times less likely to have a tick bite than those wearing untreated footwear. Using it on outdoor gear also helps reduce the mosquito population in your camp and prevents ticks from attaching to you. Permethrin spray bonds to fabric fibers for up to 6 weeks (42 days) of exposure to sun and air or 6 washings.

‍

Specially formulated not to stain or damage your clothing, other fabrics, gear, and equipment, it's odorless after drying and is as effective as 100% DEET. To apply, spray Permethrin directly onto clothing and gear with a slow sweeping motion, keeping the bottle about 6 to 8 inches away, and treating each side of the garment for about 30 seconds.

‍

The EPA recommends using 4.5 ounces of Permethrin to spray each outfit (consisting of shirt, pants, and socks). Maximize protection by pairing with Sawyer Picaridin topical repellent for the skin.

Product Benefits

Ways to Use
Add a layer of protection to your clothing and gear with Permethrin insect and tick repellent spray — perfect for use on shirts, jackets, pants, socks, shoes, boots, sleeping bags, tents, netting, when outdoors, camping, hunting, or on travel.

Bonded to Fabric
Once your treatment of Sawyer Permethrin has fully dried and bonded with your fabric fibers, the amount that can come out via physical contact or water exposure is indeterminately small. It is extended UV exposure or the heavy agitation of a washing machine that degrades the insect repellent treatment much like the dye in a t-shirt.

产品常见问题

What is Permethrin? - Permethrin

菊酯是菊花的天然驱虫剂除虫菊酯的合成版。天然除虫菊酯在阳光下很快就会分解，但 Sawyer 的医药级合成除虫菊酯可以在衣服和其他织物上持续使用 6 周或洗涤 6 次，是防止蚊子和蜱虫的绝佳无味屏障。

Is Sawyer Permethrin safe around cats?

Yes once the treatment has fully dried, Sawyer Permethrin treated clothing and gear is completely safe to use wear around cats. Concentrates and agricultural grade formulas pose a much higher threat than our pharmaceutical grade formula.

It is during the application process which cats need to be separated. Do not expose cats to wet permethrin as it affects their central nervous system. This is not true with dogs, horses, or cows. Cats can be around permethrin treated fabrics once the application has dried.

Will Sawyer Permethrin come out when hiking or swimming?

No, the amount of Sawyer Permethrin Fabric Insect Repellent that can come out via physical contact or water contact is indeterminately small once the treatment has fully dried and bonded with the fabric fibers with our pharmaceutical grade formula. This is not the case for other brand concentrates or agricultural grade formulas.

With the Sawyer formula, think of it like the dye in a t-shirt. It will slowly degrade via UV exposure or the heavy agitation of a washing machine but not be immediately noticeable. You can extend the performance of Sawyer Permethrin treatment fabrics by hand washing them or limiting UV exposure between uses.

Will Permethrin ruin my clothes or equipment? - Permethrin

氯菊酯不会损坏衣物或设备。与可能会损害某些织物和材料的DEET不同，氯菊酯甚至可用于丝绸等易碎织物，以及所有合成纤维和防水薄膜织物。氯菊酯不会影响塑料或表面处理。如果有疑问，请在不明显的表面区域，尤其是精致衣物上试用样品，并在接触 24 小时后进行检查。氯菊酯可能对鱼类等水生生物有害，因此不要在鱼缸周围喷洒氯菊酯。

How harmful are Permethrin fumes while treating clothing? - Permethrin

建议在室外使用菊酯气雾剂处理衣物。如果不小心在室内进行处理，根据吸入剂量计算，预计不会对健康造成不良影响。不过，有呼吸问题（如哮喘）的人可能会面临更大的风险。用菊酯处理织物时产生的气味主要来自气雾推进剂，而不是驱虫剂本身。

How much Permethrin comes off the clothing when laundered? - Permethrin

氯菊酯与大多数织物之间会形成牢固的粘合。事实上，军服在洗涤 50 次后仍有一定的驱虫效果。不过，处理军服时使用的是吸收法，而不是气雾剂罐。在美国陆军进行的研究中，第一次洗涤后，约有 20% 至 30% 的菊酯处理剂被去除。此后，在十次洗涤过程中，每次洗涤都会损失约 3%至 5%。

Can Permethrin cause skin irritation or sensitization from repeated use? - Permethrin

动物研究表明，直接施用不会对皮肤造成刺激或过敏。在一项对照人体研究中，对 200 名受试者进行了测试，结果表明氯菊酯不会对皮肤造成明显的刺激或过敏。预计穿着经过氯菊酯处理的衣物不会对皮肤产生明显影响。

Will applying permethrin to flame retardant garments reduce their effectiveness? - Permethrin

泵喷型氯菊酯驱虫处理剂不会伤害阻燃服装。
