Insect Repellent

Sawyer Insect Repellent was developed in cooperation with the U.S. military, government agencies and universities. This repellent offers excellent protection from disease-carrying biting insects. The active ingredient is Permethrin which was developed from a substance called pyrethrin found in certain flowers. These products not only repel insects, but they actually kill ticks, mosquitoes, chiggers, mites and 100 other kinds of insects. The Sawyer Duranon repellents are used on skin, but instead on your clothing, tents and other gear.

A single application can last up to six weeks remains potent even if you wash the garment once a week. Permethrin is scentless when dry, and during the drying process it chemically bonds with the fibers of the treated garment, but doesn’t stain or damage clothing, fabrics, plastics, finished surfaces, or any of your outdoor gear. Available in spray or liquid soak and retails $5.99-6.99
