How Do I Apply Permethrin Safely? Spray or Soak?

To spray on , generously moisten the fabric of the garment with a slow sweeping motion, keeping the spray bottle about 6 to 8 inches away and treating each side of the garment for about 30 seconds. Let dry for least 2-4 hours or best overnight if possible. You can mix the Duration according to how long you need protection, the more you mix in a quart spray bottle the longer the protection. The permethrin will bind to most any fabric and will stay on the fabric throughout several Laundering too. You can mix for 3 weeks and 3 washes, 6 weeks and 6 washes, 12 weeks and 12 washes or 24 weeks and 24 washes. Always follow directions and always shake bottle after mixing.

It is recommended that you follow the spray method on the outside of the box or the instruction sheet on the inside, then treat clothing, tents, and outdoor gear in a well ventilated area or outdoors.  If the treatment is accidentally done indoors, no adverse health effects are expected based upon calculations of inhaled dose. However, individuals with breathing problems, like  asthma, may be at greater risk. The odor arising from treating fabric with Permethrin is mostly from the aerosol propellants rather than from the insect repellent itself.
