Insect Shield Permethrin Spray Single Can Reviews

4.9 Rating 30 Reviews
Just treated some clothes in preparation for an upcoming trip. I had 2 cans, 6 oz each of this permethin. Each can is advertised to treat approximately 2 outfits, but I could barely get 2 outfits treated with 2 cans. Now I see that Sawyer says 6 oz treats 1 outfit.

Some of the permethrin sprays in pump bottles are so liquid it takes awhile for items to feel dry. This one seems more aerosolized, as it had a fine mist which dried pretty quickly. I used it on a couple hats and it worked great. It did not permeate the fabrics with any bad odors.

I experienced Lyme's disease when I lived in Connecticut several years ago. I wasn't in the state 30 days when I had a tick burrowed into my armpit- of all places! (I guess there are worse?) Fortunately, I scheduled a doctor appointment soon after and he started me on a round of antibiotics and later, I tested negative post treatment. A year or so later, while shopping for fishing gear I noticed a rack of insect shield shirts. I bought socks, shirts, pants and spray. Since using these amazing products and living in New England, where the population of deer ticks has exploded, I have not had one on me since using these products. My trout fishing companions and I fish deep into the bush and brush in the kingdom of ticks and mosquitoes. I have not come home from these forays with a single tick on me and still strip and inspect in the mudroom when coming home as a precaution. I've also easily convinced my fishing buddies who trout fish the bluelines in Vermont, New York and New Hampshire to invest in these products. As I am retired and I do not believe I would risk fishing in these wonderful places without this protection from the risk of so many tick-born diseases now days. These products work great on mosquito attacks as well. Fished near the Appalachian trail a couple of weeks ago, with the mosquitos humming like a squadron of bombers without one landing on me. These insect shield products protect you like full body armour. Wouldn't go into the bush without it!

This was recommended to me by my Lyme doctor. I had clothes treated and have a can on hand for my outdoor chairs. I am in NH and we have a lot of ticks. Works great , not a strong order and great price! I would recommend to everyone!

Really works! I just wish there were more uses per bottle.

I use this product primarily on footwear as I own IS clothing. It works well and seems to be long lasting as long as it's not used regularly in wet grass.

I have used permetherin spray to coat my shoes, as well as to re-treat Insect Shield products I own. While wearing my shoes to walk through the woods or in open fields I've not come home to unwelcome passengers on myself. I will continue to use this product!

Wonderful product, spraying clothes before yard work is worth the time. Use on all clothes, boots. Have had multiple orders delivered from here. Great product!
