Permethrin Fabric Treatment

More About this Product

製品詳細

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.

製品に関するよくある質問

What is Permethrin? - Permethrin

ペルメトリンは、菊の花に含まれる天然の防虫成分ピレトリンの合成バージョンである。自然界に存在するものは日光に当たるとすぐに分解してしまうが、ソーヤの医薬品グレードの合成ペルメトリンは、衣類やその他の布地で6週間または6回の洗濯が可能で、蚊やダニから身を守る無臭の素晴らしいバリアとなる。

Will Permethrin ruin my clothes or equipment? - Permethrin

ペルメトリンは衣服や用具を傷めません。一部の生地や素材に害を与える可能性のあるDEETとは異なり、ペルメトリンはシルクのような壊れやすい生地にも使用でき、さらにすべての合成繊維や防水膜の生地にも使用できます。ペルメトリンはプラスチックや仕上げに影響を与えません。疑わしいと思われる場合は、特にデリケートな布地など、目立たない部分でサンプルを試し、24時間後にチェックしてください。ペルメトリンは魚などの水生生物に有害な場合がありますので、魚の水槽の周りにはスプレーしないでください。

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.

How harmful are Permethrin fumes while treating clothing? - Permethrin

ペルメトリン・エアゾルによる衣類の処理は屋外で行うことを推奨する。誤って室内で処理を行った場合、吸入量の計算から健康への悪影響はないと予想される。しかし、喘息のような呼吸障害を持つ人は、リスクが高くなる可能性がある。ペルメトリンによる布地処理から発生する臭気は、防虫剤そのものからではなく、ほとんどがエアゾール推進剤によるものである。

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

ペルメトリンとほとんどの繊維の間には強い結合が形成される。実際、軍服では50回の洗濯で若干の防虫効果が認められた。ただし、この軍服はエアゾール缶の代わりに吸収法で処理された。アメリカ陸軍が行った研究では、最初の洗濯でペルメトリン処理の約20～30％が除去された。その後、10回の洗濯を繰り返すたびに、約3～5％が失われた。

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

動物における研究では、直接塗布による皮膚刺激や感作性は期待できないことが実証されている。ヒトを対象とした対照試験では、ペルメトリンは200人の被験者に対して有意な皮膚刺激や感作を引き起こしませんでした。ペルメトリンで処理された衣服の着用による重大な皮膚への影響は予想されない。

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

ポンプスプレータイプのペルメトリン虫除けトリートメントは、難燃性の衣服を傷めません。
