When a tick, mosquito, or other insect comes into contact with Permethrin, it absorbs a dose that will either repel or kill the insect. The synthetic version of pyrethrum (a natural insecticide de- rived from the chrysanthemum flower), Perme- thrin is non-toxic and registered for use by the U.S. EPA. 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. Sawyer Permethrin Insect Repellent can be ap- plied to dogs and help control mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas for 35 days. Official application in- structions for use on dogs can be found here . So the next time your planning a camping trip, vacation, picnic or even just working in your yard, head over to your local Bass Pro Shops , or Cabela’s and pick up some Sawyer Products. We hope this article has informed you on the wonderful benefits of both Picardin and Perme- thrin and changes the way you defend yourself, gear, and loved ones from disease and those pes- ky insects.
