Long-Lasting Tick & Mosquito Protection for Outdoor Gear and Clothing

The Sawyer Permethrin Insect Repellent Aerosol Spray is a powerful clothing and gear treatment designed to repel and kill ticks, mosquitoes, chiggers, mites, spiders, and more than 55 other kinds of insects. Ideal for backpacking, camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, travel, and outdoor adventures, this long-lasting permethrin spray adds an odorless layer of protection to your outdoor gear and clothing without damaging fabrics or equipment.

Camping Gear X is proud to offer premium outdoor protection products from Sawyer Products, trusted by hikers, backpackers, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.

Unlike topical bug sprays designed for direct skin application, Sawyer Permethrin bonds directly to fabric fibers, providing long-lasting insect protection that remains effective for up to 6 weeks or 6 washings. Once dry, the treatment is odorless and safe for use on technical outdoor fabrics, tents, backpacks, hammocks, sleeping bags, camp furniture, mosquito netting, shoes, socks, and more.

Perfect for creating a protective barrier against disease-carrying ticks and mosquitoes, Sawyer Permethrin helps reduce exposure to Lyme disease, West Nile virus, Zika virus, and other insect-borne threats during outdoor activities.
