PERMETHRIN is a non-toxic, safe-to-humans clothing treatment that both kills and repels mosquitoes, ticks
and many other insects. Permethrin clothing treatment binds to the fibers of fabric, similar to colorants, and
remains effective for up to 6 weeks, through regular washings. Permethrin may also be used on mosquito nets, sleeping
bags, tents, or stroller nettings. Available in aerosol and non-aerosol formulations, Duranon Tick Repellent and
a new Military Style Soak formula. |

The US Center for Disease Control and many State Departments
of Health recommend the use of insect repellents to prevent insect bites which may transmit diseases such as West
Nile Virus, Lyme Disease, Malaria and others. |
| The combination of DEET insect repellent on the skin and
PERMETHRIN treated clothing was proven to
be almost 100% effective against mosquito and
tick bites when researched by the US Military
over the past twenty years. The US Military uses this combination to protect its soldiers in the field, as do other
governments worldwide. The US military chooses a timed release polymer based Deet formula for the skin, and a high
dosage permethrin treatment for its Battle Dress Uniforms. The formulas we offer can provide protection for up
to six weeks and through weekly washings. |
