| Sawyer's Clothing Insect Repellent - $6.99 |
One of my latest discoveries is Sawyer's Clothing Insect Repellent. If you enjoy
the outdoors and live in an area plagued by ticks or mosquitoes, you need to
invest in a can of this good stuff.
Sawyer's Clothing Insect Repellent is not designed for application onto the
skin, instead, treat your clothing, tent, sleeping bag, or any other fabric that
can be used as a barrier from insects. Another difference from traditional
insect repellents is that one application can last up to six weeks, even after
washings. If you are well covered by clothing, Sawyer's is all you need. If you
are wearing shorts and a t-shirt, then applying traditional insect repellent
also is a good idea.
Sawyer's contains Permethrin (non-toxic to humans) which not only repels
insects, it will kill mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, and 55 other insects. During
application, Sawyers binds to the fibers of the garment but will not damage or
discolor the fabric. Once dry, Sawyer's is orderless.
Depending on size and application style, a can of Sawyer's Clothing Insect
Repellent will set you back between $7 and $20. One can is easily enough to get
me thru a season, which entails multiple applications to my tent, sleeping bag,
backpack, and a jacket or two. |
