For those who mix your own permethrin solution to treat clothing, what kind do you use and what mix ratio do you use?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Is it the stinky kind? The kind I get has a pic of a silo and some stuff on it.The most recent Martin's I picked up was 13%, so I mix it 1:20. Don't leave home without it!
I honestly don't know if it has petroleum or not. Will have to check.Is it the stinky kind? The kind I get has a pic of a silo and some stuff on it.
Works great, that's what I use. 31 or 33% concentrate IIRCI have wondered about mixing up some using the stuff from tractor supply, Much cheaper than what the sporting goods stores sell.
All i will use because it works!!! If it cost three times as much im buying it, havnt had a tick since i started using it years agoThat's what I use. I mixed my own once, accurately down to the drop. I soaked my clothes, let them dry a couple days, then wore them turkey hunting. I had ticks crawling on my freshly treated clothes. Granted this was with Gordon's. I went back to Sawyer's and never looked back. Not as cheap as mixing your own, but I KNOW when I use Sawyer's I won't find a tick on me.
Ditto! Exactly what I do with exact same product. I buy at local CO-OP or Stockdales if you have those in your area. Pre-treat day before and let the product dry to provide maximum protection and defense.Martin's 10% , the water based kind that don't stink. Mix is 1 part Martin's and 15 parts water = dead ticks and chiggers.
Same here! If I had known you got a commission I would've used your link when I bought a couple weeks ago.All i will use because it works!!! If it cost three times as much im buying it, havnt had a tick since i started using it years ago
No not my commission, that was just attached to the link i copiedSame here! If I had known you got a commission I would've used your link when I bought a couple weeks ago.
That's what I use and mix it 16:1.I have wondered about mixing up some using the stuff from tractor supply, Much cheaper than what the sporting goods stores sell.
It has a little smell but nothing bad. I've always used it and never a problem with ticks.Gordon's is petroleum based and has a smell. I also found it to be not very effective.
It doesn't exactly stink, but it's not a smell I want to smell hour after hour for days and weeks. My main complaint was the first day I had ticks crawling on my pants like they weren't treated. Maybe I got a bad batch.It has a little smell but nothing bad. I've always used it and never a problem with ticks.
