Hey Smith, I got 2 bottles of that Bug spray you recommended.
I'm at work and can't remember the name.
Got it from Duluth Trading Company on line.
Question:
Do you use it on your skin and clothes too?
Sometimes a spray will be only for clothes.
So, how was your skin "if" you sprayed it on your arms and legs?
No bad reaction I hope.
Thanks mon.

Thanks brother.
P.S.
I got the Sawyer bottle, the same one in your video.
Mi good to go!
I bought a quart of 37% permethrin for 22US on amazon.
That's enough for the whole family's clothes for months.
Permethrin only works on clothes. NOT ON HUMANS

me roll eyes
Permethrin forms a film that adheres to the fibers of the cloth. Doesn't work on skin.
The straight stuff last twice as long as Sawyer's is diluted for resale.
The mix for 37% is 2 oz to a gallon which will wet down a a bunch of clothes
But you have to buy a pint at least. However, for 22US it's a deal if you need that much......which we do at the yard

ooooooooooooooh, i *see* said the blind-man
:-)
cap-d...YOU di man,,, fi sure
gonna 'book-mark' this post, for later
THANKS a bunch..!!
Anything from Sawyers is good
We use the lotion (deet) for the skin, and the spray for the clothes.
The info above is good, be careful of the clothes spray and treat the clothes before you leave and let dry...it lasts for a long time, and through multiple washes too.
Permethrin is an insect killer not repellent ( aithough killing sure is a repellent ) good for ticks , I would just use a repellent in JahQuote:

Just wondering if anyone has seen or used the BugBand?
http://bugband.net/store.html
Haven't done any research yet on insect repellents, but will be looking into it for our trip this summer.
This is good info. In Minnesota we have a huge problem with ticks and lymes. Mosquitoes are quite a nuisance when camping or at the cabin. It would be nice to use less on the skin if one could get by with it. Sounds like you can treat your clothes to keep them off you but still need to treat bare skin areas? When I am at the cabin, I have to use 100% deet or your going to be eaten alive. Are there other ways to use Permethrin to control insects?Quote:

Good stuff that carries some risks, but then again so does deet, and zika doesn't sound too nice either...
Permethrin is the man made version of the organic spray Pyganic . Although no pesticide is totally harmless Permethrin (on most crops ) has a 0 days to harvest on the label.
Almost harmless to humans but deadly to bugs. We don't use it our apples as it kills good and bad bugs ( called broad spectrum insectide ) So unless you need tick control I would stay away from it.
Trying not to go too far off topic, but the local stores in Negril will have bug spray, right? Not this permethrin stuff but your standard spray?
You can easily get bug spray in the shops here...more affordable Caribbean brands and the more expensive Americans brands are available...Quote:

Negative. It's kills bugs that land on your clothes.Quote:
