So much detail!! Thank you so much for answering all of the questions I had and especially demonstrating the effective way to apply. I’m looking forward to testing it out.
We second that motion 👍! We tried it on all of our gear and clothing last year and it was killer ( no pun intended lol). We are in the process of making a quick video to share our experiences and story. We were in Ontario, Canada last year and the mosquitoes were “bouncing” off of our tent. Amazing!! We subscribed, follow our adventures too. Cheers from Michigan
I use the concentrate. The bottle I have is more than 5 years old. It's been out in the garage in all Canadian temperatures. It's still perfectly good and potent. I squirt a spoonful on my hands and rub it into the fur around my dog's neck, ears, chest and etc. No need to do the whole dog. No need to soak the dog. In Canada you can only buy the 'premixed' . Which means you're buy a litre of water and spoonful of permethrin. Go south of the border when you can. Canada is so hopeless.
Great video - short, informative and gave me everything I need to do this right. Plus you made it interesting with the visuals and the letters with the funny anonymous signatures.
What should I wear while applying permethrin to clothing? Because of all the warnings on the label (such as no skin exposure), I cover myself from head to toe, gloves and a mask so there is no exposed skin while applying. This video says it's harmless on skin, so am I being overly cautious? Should I at least wear a mask so I don't inhale any of it? Also do i actually need to wash off any exposure to skin or is it unnecessary because the permethrin deactivates?
I just used it for the first time yesterday after getting annihilated by ticks and skeeters the night before and I have to say that I felt like I was invisible to them after applying to my outdoor gear. Bottom line... It Works!
This was great, thanks, been searching for "should i go to urgent care for scabies?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Penabriel Acclaimed Preference - (do a google search ) ? It is a great exclusive product for stopping your scabies pain and itching from home without the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my neighbour got cool results with it.
I’m excited about this stuff. My property joins with Brown County State Park and the ticks are just nuts in the woods. They own the forest in the summer.
Hi, I sprayed my outfits in the backyard. There was a little breeze that blew the droplets on my flipflops and feet. I rinsed my feet off when I came inside. Should I be concerned? Thx! This is my 2nd purchase. Have had amazing results!
Will this be effective against hordes of biting flies? I even treated my insect jacket with this stuff to hopefully enjoy my weekend backpacking trip during peak "fly" season.
Aside from the overly loud banjos, this video answered ALMOST EVERY question I had!👍 I'm a Landscape Photographer (Primarily Nighttime). For ME, it's an optimal time to shoot and capture amazing City life footage! Unfortunately for me, my optimal shooting time is their optimal eating time. To date, every product I have tried (A LOT!) has miserably FAILED. Yesterday I did copious research (which I should have done beforehand) and I stumbled upon your products. There was NOTHING but POSITIVE reviews and recommendations by anyone and everyone that used the Sawyer brand products. The high amount of praises, Positivity and purchaser confidence into inspired me! 😉👍 I bought The SAWYER'S: PICARIDIN LOTION & PERMETHRIN Spray. I'm Definitely looking forward to trying them out this evening, and joining the ranks of positive reviewers!
This video directly contradicts the label directions, which state that skin contact requires treatment and a call to poison control center. It says "Do not spray directly on or otherwise allow to contact skin, face, or eyes". The label also says "It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.." Why is a corporate video talking about how harmless the product is in contradiction to the label? All reports are that it is an effective product - when used per directions. It isn't necessary to misdirect consumers to get sales.
Agreed! When the treated clothes are dried, the pesticide stays on the clothes, which then touch bare skins. These days, Ads are done by marketing people who may know nothing about their products; they just read off scripts. Need the developers/scientists to give the facts, not a sales pitch!
Maybe... Just MAYBE... The label is talking about not allowing the liquid form to contact the skin. And just maybe that idiotic label is required by a nanny government. And just maybe if you'd watched the entire video, you'd have seen her answer questions, at least one of which addresses your statement.
My treated garments are not drying. They are hanging in an indoor ventilated porch, windows open/ fan on, but it's been pouring rain all day and the air is super damp. I may have sprayed too much? They weren't "dripping" but they were very damp. Can I put in the drier?
Quick question….you say each garment needs 3oz of permethrin but the paper that came with the product recommends to treat each OUTFIT with 4.5. Which do you recommend?
@@SawyerProductsCould you add text about this change “on top” of the section of this video that’s now incorrect? Or somehow convey this change in the video itself? Seems odd to only discover this by chance, buried in the comments. It’s a huge difference. (4.5 oz per outfit vs 9+ oz for pants/shirt/shoes/hat/socks). Thanks!
Hello, do you know if this product is authorized in Europe and France? Because I can't find it in any seller, yet I would like to buy Swayer 657 spray. Thank you for your review.
So why does the bottle instruction say not to treat hats? Also, I tend to wipe my eyes with my shirt tail. Can the dry product transfer to mucosa membrane such as eyes or nose if garment gets used like this?
The instructions do not include hats because when they originally did all the testing, they did not include hats in the protocol. Once the treatment has fully dried we know that the permethrin will not come out by physical contact or by water, it will only degrade via UV exposure or the heavy agitation of a washing machine.
While you pump the bottle leaks out and dropped onto your hand. Not good. You should worry about that. I had gloves on but I didn't feel good about it anyway. They were just thin vinyl gloves. And what about reading it? I smelled it while I was putting it on, so I'm sure I breathe a little bit of it. You should have a warnings about it.
@@SawyerProducts ok, please tell.If after fully dry it begin rainy, is it bacome dangerously after getting wet again?Is it dangerous for skin? Thanks, waiting for reply
Ok, when I ordered this on Amazon, and it says it's fulfilled by Sawyer, the 24 oz pump description says it treats up to 8 garments. This video says 4, the bottle says 5. Which is it?
The latest EPA standards are now 4.5 oz per outfit rather than the old 3 oz per garment standard so we had to update our marketing language to reflect the newer dosage
@@SawyerProducts so the "5" on the bottle is correct? How about updating Amazon to reflect this? Thanks. www.amazon.com/Sawyer-Products-SP657-Permethrin-Repellent/dp/B001ANQVYU/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3H3ITMLB9WCPF&dchild=1&keywords=sawyer+permethrin&qid=1591205831&sprefix=sawyer%2Caps%2C212&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzTlo2MUJIRktJTllDJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjM0OTE3MTNURkk0N0lXNU5UTyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDA3NTQ2M1EyWkNMQjFDS0pJTCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
Awesome video, thanks. My question.. it's 102f and I'm in deep with dried permeth on my shirt, I'm sweating profusely, my shirt becomes wet with sweat to the point of the whole shirt wet, will the permeth un-bond from the shirt and be absorbed by my skin? Let's hope not... thnx
I don’t really want to spray my clothes with Permethrin. I’d prefer to spray just shoes and socks…maybe shorts if I really have to, bit if I spray just shoes And socks will that be enough to repel mosquitoes?
it will help with ticks and mosquitoes near the treated fabric but it is will not act as a full perimeter treatment if you only treat the lower parts of you body.
Wait a sec ! Hello !!! It says right on the bottle NOT TO TREAT HATS, CAPS or INNER clothing. So if at the end of the video you refer to these statements as simply "it won't be effective" well, I agree for inner clothing (eventhough you would take the upper ones off on a hot day), but what about hats ?
Elsewhere in the comments she responds to this question: initial testing just didn’t include hats, so they didn’t/couldn’t list hats on the label (EPA rules?). But she says it is safe and effective on hats, and there is no actual reason not to. I treat the outside and brim, but don’t aim to treat the inside of the crown (since it wouldn’t help keep bugs off).
I noticed it says on my bottle that Sawyer permethrin has a special active ingredient that allows it to bind to clothing. The only thing listed by law in the active ingredients is the permethrin. I am taking it that the permethrin is actually the binding ingredient and not anything else since it is the only active in this solution. Also does this contain distillates like some of the permethrin solutions have in them?
The "active ingredient" in a product is the ingredient which does the thing that the product is used for. The binders wouldn't be listed as an active ingredient, as they're not what kills and repels insects. Ya see?
We apologize for any confusion. The verbiage on our packaging is based on the original marketing claims given to us by the EPA. When the testing was first done with the permethrin, they did not include hats in the testing protocol. We fully endorse the treatment of hats. Like any clothing or gear, we would simply recommend letting everything fully dry before use to maximize the insect repellent's effectiveness and longevity. Once the treatment has fully dried and bonded, the Permethrin only degrades via UV exposure or the heavy agitation of a washing machine.
this stuff is the most amazing product i have ever used in my whole life. I really mean it. If you have ever been eat up with chiggers just once you will try to by this stuff by the drum
we've been in the application process far longer than we expected! We currently sell it to the Canadian Military and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police but we have still not been approved for consumer sales.
Once the treatment has dried it is perfectly safe to use and wear permethrin treated clothing and gear around cats but keep cats away during the application process. However you can apply permethrin directly to dogs for protection from ticks for 6 weeks. Learn more at www.sawyer.com/dogs
It is highly toxic around cats. I don't trust it dried around them either, since they lick themselves, making the active ingredient damp again if it gets on them. Only use it when they are not around.
DON'T USE ON TENTS!!! Permethrin is great stuff. I use it on cloths and bedding. It's a very healthy practice because it seriously reduces risk of Lyme disease, West Nile, and malaria in high risk areas without DEET. The reason not to use it on tents is permethrin is not really a repellent, it is an insecticide. If you use a light source inside a tent you will draw all sorts of insect species to the tent exterior, potentially killing them if the tent has been treated. Do you really want to be responsible for killing endangered insect species like the luna moth? Another thing: Before it dries, it's LETHAL to cat's (organ failure). It's safe after it dries.
I had a friend who released a crab into the ocean as an act of kindness. Damn thing bit her and she got a nasty infection. Vegans kill animals too, because growing anything in fields results in death of animals from farm machinery. Can we breath yet? Co2 is causing green house, maybe we should hold our breath. But i get the point, turn off the tent light when finished and don’t attract hapless little fluttering insects to their doom. I grew up in the 70’s when people tossed cans out the car window. Something liberating about that. Good times

No you nit-wit! ...Trophy meaning a Rabid, Man Eating Deer with two inch fangs dripping with venom! Permetherin Repellent is for the guys that go afield to protect women (if you know what that is) and children from those veracious beasts and to keep you safe from those creatures over populating, then taking over cities and infecting the innocent populace! But the real bonus comes from being able to pick off a blood thirsty Tick gorging on the vitals of one of those beasts at 200 yards! Yeah baby! Put the cross hairs of a 4x12 on the thorax of one of those miserable Tick's of which have no sense of life or death and only seek to replicate themselves and their kind, then infect more warm blooded mammals of the world! Now quickly... run out to the store and buy yourself some Bud Lite before it all goes stale and share it with your kind, then go roll around in the woods and save the Ticks! The trickle down effect will save those "living in the woods who didn't want to die" from Lyme disease, predator attack, or lead projectile poisoning! Now you know the meaning of "Trophy!" 😁
This video says to treat caps, hats, etc. The product label says not to treat hats. What is it? If this video is inaccurate, y'all need to take it down.
Remember, it only needs to be good enough to let you get the job done. If it poisons or cripples you years later it's the VA's problem, not the military.
While it is true that permethrin will repel all sorts of insects, banjo music at inappropriately high volumes has been unscientifically proven to attract them.😅 ♥️🪕
you should have sprayed some Permethrin on that banjo
Lol, best comment.
Best internet comment ever.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Instant laugh.
Earl Scruggs is spinning in his grave ..🪕

Fantastic choice of music, about time someone gave the banjo some overdue public recognition
This product works very well. Used it during fishing season and literally watched the ticks fall off dead
Glad i came across this. I’ve been using it on clothing but have been overly cautious about it touching my skin.
turn down the banjos, Lonnie

Are you sure the banjo is loud enough? Hard to hear you over the music.

Once the treatment has fully dried and bonded, the Permethrin only degrades via UV exposure or the heavy agitation of a washing machine.
Absolutely great on a wide-brimmed boonie hat!!
Love the banjo
THERE'S ENDLESS BANJO MUSIC!
horribly distracting annoying music.

2:50 - "your trophy"... meaning a living animal living in the woods who didn't want to die?
No you nit-wit! ...Trophy meaning a Rabid, Man Eating Deer with two inch fangs dripping with venom! Permetherin Repellent is for the guys that go afield to protect women (if you know what that is) and children from those veracious beasts and to keep you safe from those creatures over populating, then taking over cities and infecting the innocent populace! But the real bonus comes from being able to pick off a blood thirsty Tick gorging on the vitals of one of those beasts at 200 yards! Yeah baby! Put the cross hairs of a 4x12 on the thorax of one of those miserable Tick's of which have no sense of life or death and only seek to replicate themselves and their kind, then infect more warm blooded mammals of the world! Now quickly... run out to the store and buy yourself some Bud Lite before it all goes stale and share it with your kind, then go roll around in the woods and save the Ticks! The trickle down effect will save those "living in the woods who didn't want to die" from Lyme disease, predator attack, or lead projectile poisoning! Now you know the meaning of "Trophy!" 😁
Whats the stats on that bow setup? Looks like my 1982 Ben Pearson with 2117 Gamegetters! Hahahaha
You couldnt make up better names for the FAQ's ???? I mean, cmon.
Pretty sure the mosquitoes and black flies on our Olympic Peninsula drink and bathe in that stuff……..
This video says to treat caps, hats, etc. The product label says not to treat hats. What is it? If this video is inaccurate, y'all need to take it down.
The background noises are hideous
Can it kill cockroaches 🪳
Turkey's can't smell.
And don't forget to spray your cut bait!
You need to spray some kind of shit on that roof!
It was created for the military so it must be safe. lol.
Remember, it only needs to be good enough to let you get the job done. If it poisons or cripples you years later it's the VA's problem, not the military.
shut off music please
I like the red neck music😅😅😅😅
While it is true that permethrin will repel all sorts of insects, banjo music at inappropriately high volumes has been unscientifically proven to attract them.😅
