My past use of this product was positive for the prevention of insect bites through fabric - especially mosquitoes! With the various mosquito type diseases (Zika) around in the warmer climates, the little cost and short time associated is well worth the peace of mind. I sprayed clothes that were not already pre-treated at their source of manufacture, paying particular attention to collars and cuffs because that area is nearest exposed skin. I've had no problem in the past, and hope the future is the same for me. There is little to no odor at application, and drying time is fairly quick. When the fabric is dry, I could not detect any odor at all, and into the closet with other clothes they went. So far, I'm happy with the product.

We live in a area where Lyme disease is rampant. I have never had a tick on me while wearing clothes that were treated with Sawyer Permethrin. Insect repellant with deet does not work very well and with permethrin I can wear the clothes for 40 days or 6 washings whichever comes first. Last summer I went into the woods for just a couple minutes without my permethrin treated clothes and had a deer tick on me. I have a friend that had Lyme Disease and it went undetected for quite some time and he now has severe health problems. One bottle will last most people a season.

Sprayed my hunting clothes, following the directions given. Been hunting several times now, walking through tall grasses, brush and sitting in tree stand and I have not been had any problems with fire ants, jiggers, or mosquitoes. Before I got the Sawyer's I was eaten up by the fire ants and jiggers, but not now. I have not washed the clothes, I just hang them on the line to air out and store them in a plastic storage tote between hunts. Great product at a reasonable price.

This is the second summer that I have used this product. It is fabulous! I'm outdoors every day walking through high grass and ocean side trails. I use the Sawyer spray on all of my outdoor clothes, including hats and socks. In the past two years, I have only found one tick on my pants leg. This was at the end of the five washings that the spray is guaranteed to work. It keeps away other insects like mosquitoes and gnats do not like it either. I highly recommend this product for use on clothing, hats, car interiors, tents etc. Once it is dry, there is no odor. However, beware that while it is wet, the odor is toxic to animals and you should not inhale it. I leave my clothes on the line outside, spray them and once dry, bring them in and they are ready to wear. I am very sensitive to sprays and allergic to a lot of things. I have had no physical response to this product. All of my friends that are outdoor people have .found ticks on them repeatedly this year.. Many have had Lyme Disease and other tick borne infections. There is no reason to curb your outdoor fun, if you use this product. In my opinion, it works fantastically well.Read full review

I bought this product because I am a security guard in several different public locations. Prior to starting, I had hear horror stories about citizens bringing in fleas, bugs, etc into the buildings. A guard with experience told me he had a cleaning kit in his trunk, and sprayed his legs and boots every day, before and after work. I have followed the same pattern, and this product helps gives me the peace of mind that I won't bring anything home with me from work. It does seem to have a bit of an odor when you first spray it on, but overall, it is pretty odorless. I spray it on my pants and boots, and once it is dry, you cannot tell it is there. I did want to mention that the spray top broke after the first week. Luckily, I had an empty spray bottle in my laundry room, and I used the spray top from that as a replacement. But, that was pretty cheap, in my opinion. Overall, I would recommend this product. I bought it because other reviewers said bugs would die instantly upon contact yet. I have not seen that happen yet, but their confidence in it helped to give me enough confidence to buy it.Read full review
