    A poison but very low toxicity. It was originally isolated from chrysanthemums.

    If you use a 10% Permethrin concentrate, you want to dilute it with 19 parts water and 1 part of 10% permethrin concentrate to produce a 0.5% Permethrin solution. For example, if you wanted to make a gallon (128 ounces) of a 0.5% Permethrin solution using water and a 10% Permethrin solution, you’d mix 6.4 ounces of 10% Permethrin solution with 121.6 ounces of water.

    I think you are diluting that far too much. All the commercial sprays have .5% permethrin along with a little petroleum distillate to dissolve it so it can form an emulsion in water. This all evaporates off to leave the water insoluble compound on the fabric. They recommend around 3-4 Oz of this .5% spray on an "outfit", or around 1 gram of permethrin per outfit. So if you were to use a 10% permethrin product like the one in the video, you need to mix it 20:1 with water to concentrate. That means for a gallon of spray, you need around 6 OZ of the concentrate. Based on that amount, you would be applying around a half a gram of permethrin to an "outfit" with 3 OZ of the spray. This sounds much more reasonable and is still slightly less than the commercial Sawyer spray. Hope this helps keep folks from getting ate up. I can tell you from experience, here in Missouri where I manage 100+ acres of dense forest, the higher concentration is WAY MORE EFFECTIVE. No more bites, period. And I actually get 4-5 washes of my cloths without losing the effect.

      I'm just following the recommendations for a dog. I didn't want to make it too strong. It has been working for me at this dilution. But I appreciate your input. I'll rethink and evaluate it. Thank you.

    I'm always on the lookout for tick repellent news. I was using the milsurp spray from Sportsman's Guide til the price went up. Most recently I've been using Sawyer. Spring in Wisconsin is just around the corner and my bottle of Sawyer is almost used up. I'll be giving this a try. Thanks for the heads up.

      how much did you dilute it for your yard? I read the martin permerthrin 10% but its kinda confusing says 1 and a half per 10 gallons for the lawn but for inside the house its 1.33 oz per gallon. Im not good at math but that doesnt seem right lol.

    Thanks for your video of how to make this. Also, it's good you highlight that it is poison, so people should be careful! I used Sawyer on a couple articles of clothing and it seemed to help, but need to look into more as the mosquitoes are really bad this year!

    I apply it with a windex bottle with the cloth on. Then on the dog, too. It works, but some aggressive ticks still make the journey to the waistline.

    • @ryanfeeley8945
      @ryanfeeley8945 Год назад +1

      Agree on your measurement. I can usually wash the clothing 2 times and then retreat at this strength...or really until I can't smell it anymore. If I push it one more time after the smell isn't strong I'll usually find a tick.

    I tried this before backing a few days ago and it worked! What I wonder, is when you sweat in 100 degree temperature does that re-wet the dried permethrin and make it absorb into your skin?

    • @adventuresincampingwithcar8622
      @adventuresincampingwithcar8622  4 года назад +1

      Hi Tim, as far as I know, sweat doesn't reactivate the permethrin. If it, did they wouldn't allow Saywer to sell the premix in Wallyworld (Walmart). This is the same stuff, just using some common sence and doing it more econimically.

    • @ddff5242
      @ddff5242 3 года назад +2

      Also, just for context, permethrin is the active ingredient in head lice cream that they have used in kids for decades at double the concentration %. That goes directly on the skin of children... if you get some on your skin its harmless. I just think you dont want to douse yourself in it...

    • @adventuresincampingwithcar8622
      @adventuresincampingwithcar8622  3 года назад +1

      I agree, children's heads are treated for as king as it takes to get rid of the lice. Then stopped. Dousing ourselves in this stuff everytime we go into the woods doesn't sound like a good idea.

    Just curious about Permethrin being toxic to fish. Do you, or any of your followers, know if it affects fish when you jump into your lake with your treated clothes on?
    I have a habit of cooling off in the summertime by jumping into my lake, fully clothed.
    I have done this recently and noticed no issues with any of my fish.
    The clothes were treated and dried, as you suggested.
    But I don't know if there is a leaching affect of Permethrin into the waters of the pond when swimming.
    My wife also read an article in a rural magazine saying that Permethrin treated clothes should NOT be washed with other clothing. Any thoughts on that?

    • @adventuresincampingwithcar8622
      @adventuresincampingwithcar8622  3 года назад

      I am not aware of any problems. I believe that as long as it has been allowed to dry properly, it stays in the clothes until is has passed its 6 week, or 6 wash load limit. The only danger the package mentions is keeping it away from cats.

  • @billwatson3527

      Roughly 6.4oz of 10% concentrate in 1 gallon of water will give you a 0.5% solution, which is what the Sawyers pre-mixed “ready to use” spray is.
