What is Reddit's opinion of Sawyer Products SP6572 Twin Pack Premium Permethrin Clothing Insect Repellent Trigger Spray, 24 oz,Yellow?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Good luck! A few years ago, I started treating my designated hiking clothing with Permethrin. Combine that with Picaridin on my skin and I haven't had a tick since. https://www.amazon.com/Sawyer-Products-Permethrin-Clothing-Repellent/dp/B07CD9NFB4?th=1

I’m pretty familiar with the ERL. I went late last year in December and early this year around March. In December (temps around 25°-40°) we took my Golden Retriever and he got over over 10 ticks. About 7 stuck on him (no ticks on my wife and I) since his fur is long as we couldn’t see them. Luckily we got his blood results back a couple of months later and everything was ok. In March (temps 45°-75°) we didn’t see any even though we missed a turn and had to bushwack.

Some parts of the trail were already overgrown with shrubs so I would guess it’s even more so now. I would definitely treat my gear with Permethrin. I ordered mine through Amazon, but I do have an REI near me.

See if you can find Picaridin also sold by Sawyer. I use it on exposed skin in combination with Permethrin. It doesn’t damage gear like Deet does and helps keep ticks at bay.

This is the link Sawyer permethrin! $29 on Amazon.

i tried everything. Terro, professional baits of various types, it never worked.

Out of desperation I went outside, looked around the home, and found where they were entering. I sealed it but they found another hole nearby and I realized I could never seal it completely.

So I sprayed the entire perimeter along the area that they were using to enter with Sawyer Permethrin insect repellent. Normally it's used on gear... but clearly it kept the ants aware (CAREFUL this is extremely toxic to pets). It worked for months, and I have to do it again next year probably. It's the only thing that worked for me.

Hope this helps

Pretreat shoes and clothes (except underwear) with this. Ticks go on, ticks die.

I use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CD9NFB4?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder-t1_ypp_rep_k1_1_6&amp&crid=3M8WETPX5VRV9&amp&sprefix=sawyer on my clothes. Maybe just lucky but no ticks yet (Houston region)

This stuff is great. For both ticks and mosquitos.

That's not how I was told, but I could be very wrong. I was under the impression that Neem affects the bugs, and not the leaves.

> Azadirachtin has been identified as neem’s principal active compound. It acts on insects by repelling them, by inhibiting feeding, and by disrupting their growth, metamorphosis and reproduction

Just a quick google find, not sure of its veracity.

Whereas Pyrethrum can be sprayed on clothes and its effects will last through ~6 washes and thwart ticks and lice and whatnot.

I got this product and have had good results. Ticks dead on my shoes and socks and whatnot. Pyrethrum is what I used as a bug bomb for Spidermites in the past too. Works like a charm.

Neem works great for Spidermites when you have an infestation. I know that works.

I actually mix my own from concentrate. It works well.

One word - DEET - - ok, 2 words - Permethrin. I'm an avid morel hunter and hunter/outdoorsman in general. Chiggers get me too but not using these products. Mainly chiggers in my sock area when mowing around our hunting house area. The permethrinis a spray for clothing to make damp then let dry. It works exceptionally well, even after washing clothes several times. DEET is not to be applied to skin but I spray shoes and pant legs with it.

The particular lawn treatment I use (EcoSmart) I buy locally at the Agway near me. The Permethrin I use for the dog’s bandannas and harness I get from Amazon—we use it for the family’s “hiking clothes” too. The more concentrated Permethrin for the tick tubes you can get locally at garden centers, brand doesn’t matter.

Additionally, my kids spend all summer in the woods at camp and never have a problem with mosquitoes, ticks, etc. I treat their clothes with the Permethrin linked above and cover them with Sawyer’s Picaridin lotion. We buy it by the quart. The two products are worth their weight in gold—at least to our family.
