Sawyer SP602 Premium Odorless Permethrin Insect Repellent 9-Ounce Can Review

Sawyer SP602 Premium Odorless Permethrin Insect Repellent 9-Ounce Can
Average Reviews:

We purchased this for a hike that we were doing this year, and previously at this same area we had a serious problem with Ticks. This year we didn't even see any ticks so I can't say if this product would have helped in that area. But, we did see a lot of mosquitoes, and of the 5 of us that went there was a total of 1 bite, for both days we were in the woods.
The spray doesn't seem to repel the mosquitoes, since we saw a lot of them, and had them buzzing around us. I am not sure of its killing power since I didn't see any dead mosquitoes on my clothes. But I didn't see any live mosquitoes on my clothes either.
It was kind of a hassle treating the clothes prior to the trip, so I would only recommend this product if you knew you were going to a bug infested location for a few days. Otherwise use a more convenient bug spray.

Developed in cooperation with the U.S. Military, government agencies, universities and others; this Sawyer Clothing repellent offers superior protection from disease-carrying biting insects. The active ingredient, Permethrin is a synthetic molecule similar to those found in natural pyrethrum which is taken from the Chrysanthemum flower. Not only does this product repel insects, but will actually kill ticks, mosquitoes, chiggers, mites and more than 55 other kinds of insects. Sawyer Permethrin repellent is for use on your clothing, tents and other gear. A single application lasts up to six weeks and will remain effective even if you wash the garment once a week. Permethrin is odorless when dry, and during the drying process it tightly bonds with the fibers of the treated garment, it will not stain or damage clothing, fabrics, plastics, finished surfaces, or any of your outdoor gear. Try our two easy-to-use treatment methods: aerosol spray and NEW soak system. Both methods provide protection from mosquitoes and ticks through 6 launderings.

This juice works well with mosquitos and gnats! I can't say I saw them fall from the sky dead but we could sit on our deck and not be eaten alive! I used it every 3-4 days with good success.

GoGnats Insect Control Liquid Concentrate - 14 Ounce Review

I am so glad I found this product!! Last summer I moved into a new place with a balcony and I put a few of my potted houseplants outside to spruce up the space. I also bought a couple new plants from different stores. When I brought the plants in for the fall/winter and after repotting some other plants, I ended up with fungus gnats. I'm not sure if they came from outside, the new plants, or the potting soil, but they soon spread to ALL of my houseplants (about 8).
After researching to find out what all these fruit-fly-like bugs were, I found out about fungus gnats and searched for natural ways to eliminate them. I tried repotting the top parts of the soil (some plants I completely repotted-but then I wasn't sure if the soil had eggs in it), I used lemon juice in bottle caps to trap the adults, and I tried letting the plant soil dry out for as long as possible, but the plants were suffering and the gnats kept multiplying! I then decided I needed poison, and bought different types of flying-bug sprays, but nothing worked, and I worried about spraying stuff in the air with my fish tank nearby.
My boyfriend said if I didn't get rid of the gnats, he would throw away all the plants :(, so I looked for solutions and found out about a product called Gnatrol. However, I believe Gnatrol is now unavailable, so GoGnats came up in searches and I took the plunge (I wish it was priced a bit lower). I mixed it with water (maybe more concentrate than I really needed, but I wanted to kill those bugs) and drenched every plant with it. I put all my plants in the bathtub and poured the mix through each plant until it flowed out the bottoms. Immediately there was a decrease in the amount of gnats, but a few were still flying around the next couple of days. So on the third day I did a second drench. And now, more than a week later, the fungus gnats are COMPLETELY GONE and my plants are healthy and perky.
My boyfriend and I are so happy!! It was a great purchase, and I still have a lot left over if I ever have another infestation of bugs (I think it can kill more than gnats). I also love how it's safer than toxic pesticides. Definitely a good choice!

In our backyard we have quite a bit of bamboo, and mosquitos nest and breed in it. Consequently, we have LOTS of mosquitos, and it is a potential problem because we have a great patio and spend lots of time there. I say potential problem because of the effectiveness of ouir Sawyers Family Mosquito Repellent products in keeping mosquitos away from us. I have also used it hunting and fishing and it is just as effective on gnats, flies and other flying insects.

Sawyer Premium Controlled Release Insect Repellent Lotion is a superior formula in the sense that the polymer mechanism significantly reduces the rate of DEET absorption and extends the duration of its effectiveness. In fact, the absorption rate is reduced by 67-percent per application. 20-percent DEET Lotion-Odorless, Non-Greasy, LOW DEET ABSORPTION FORMULA-micro-encapsulated to last longer. Effective against ALL mosquitoes including the one carrying West Nile Virus and against ticks. By "controlling" the evaporation of DEET, this repellent can remain effective all day.Based on a dermal absorption study recently accepted by the EPA, Sawyer Premium Controlled Release Insect Repellent is the ONLY currently registered formula proven to reduce DEET absorption. The study compared one application of 20-percent Sawyer Premium Controlled Release Insect Repellent Lotion versus one application of 20-percent DEET spray.
