I really appreciate the audio being really clear even though the camera is far away. A lot of youtubers don't care enough to take care of the audio like that, thanks a lot for the good info and good quality!

You don't have to dip or saturate clothing, it's just wasting product. It only takes contact with a few molecules to work. Spray until the surface appears damp. Mark the date on the calendar and respray in 4 weeks although it should cling to fabric and footwear for 42 days or up to 6 gentle hand washings. It won't last longer if you soak clothing. It won't work on our skin as the skin oil will neutralize it in 20 minutes. Store clothing out of sunlight. Don't spray if pollinators are present. Don't get the wet spray on the cat, it's toxic to their nervous system. Just wearing treated footwear and socks pulled up over trouser legs will reduce tick bite by 73.6%

1* Love those shoes! 2* I do the same thing but I also treat my hammock. I don't treat my long underwear myself, I have definitely woken up in my hammock with dead ticks all over like someone threw in a bag of raisins when I wasn't looking. That was at the first campsite of the sht. Northern one

Permethrin is actually minimally interacting with mammilian biology. Get the Sawyers from Tractor Supply or probably any that is made for use with livestock and dilute to the 0.5% level. You could go higher to 1% without much issue, and it will cause ticks to really, really get away from you. However some people might be a bit more sensitive to it, skin irritation etc, so sticking with 0.5% is going to be more economical and probably work just fine.

Wish i known about this 15 yrs ago when my daughter contacted Rocky mountain spotted in South TX!!

Thanks for the video. I always heard about permethrin and always wondered about application of it. Perfect timing as the other day while out hiking and geocaching I ended up with a tick on me.

Thanks for the tips!

Permethrin is neutralized by sunlight, so the inside of your clothes will last longer that the outside exposed to sunlight. When drying your clothes or boots don't set them out in the sun to dry!~

Nice job.

Oh man! Is it that time of year already??

Permethrin works great I spray my gear as well I’m too lazy to mix my own🌲awesome shoes!

Also, Permethrin will make cats sick and can be fatal. Don't use it wet near cats or wear treated clothing in a home with cats.

This makes me so happy to have found it! We are getting them thick right now in northern California! You said they use it on livestock but can I use it on my dog do you know?

Morning !!

Have 40% small vial mil grade. How to mix with water?

Great tip, 1/10 of the price! I don't pay extra for marketing and minor convenience.

We in Oregon use Antelope urine we Soak our clothing it for about a week.. and that works real good after you get used to the horrible odor !!

Does permethrin repel, or just kills? In south Florida we got a lot of mosquitos and noseeums.

Can you put this solution in a spray bottle and apply it to your clothing and get good results ? / or do you have to soak them as you do to get bug free results?

You said small children; What constitutes small? Do we measure by height, or weight, or age? Need to be precise here!

I have read that permethrin which includes petroleum distillates either shortens the life of the effectiveness or doesn't work to kill ticks and other bugs. What have you experienced? Is there a brand that you recommend?

Love the shoes too! Small point, but even though it looks like you are saturating the clothing, natural fibers take "time" to completely absorb a liquid. I would slow the process down and give the fibers a chance to expand, especially wool which is naturally resistant to moisture although probably you did not do any wool items. This is not something you would be able to see, sort of like washing clothes with stain remover, the water/soap/stain remover combo works better as it soaks for an hour and spends more time on the fabric rather than just adding to a wash load. Massaging the garments like you do helps as well, then just let them sit for a few minutes. There is probably enough solution on them while they are air drying but just a thought. Get some better gloves, longer cuffs.

How bout lice ? Can it be used to spray in carpet matteres. Ill shampoo ofc afterwards

Isn't permethrin a neurotoxin? Also it appears to be mildly carcinogenic? Probably a good idea to use gloves when dealing with it.

Those are hectic shoes

Does this work well for mosquitoes?

I have a question here in uk hard to get stuff I got some ready to use in a 5lt. It says it has premyth init but says not to use on cloths ? Should I water it down and apply ??

You are asking a lot from those food service vinyl gloves

2:53 It looks like you used the wrong opening to pour out the Permethrin and way more than 3oz was used. Was that deliberate? Edit: Maybe you didn't want to squeeze 1oz 3 times and then a 4th squeeze into the measuring portion of the bottle and just opted to eyeball the ~3oz?

My understanding is that ticks are picked up around the ankles or on my boots so I only treat my gaters, not my shirts unless I were to crawl through the bushes or grass.

i cant find 10%.... only 26%....

Alpha-Gal allergy is seriously life changing shit! Thank you for this video-I will not have the rest of my family get it, Lyme or any of the other diseases ticks deliver!

128 oz in a gallon

Great video how long have you been using it like that for ? No issues with rashes or skin irritation? I have some 38.6 % permethrin 😵 I'm trying to figure out the diluted ratio for that.
