User questions & answers

Question:	Can it be used on the face and neck
Answer:	This repellent is pretty strong....Which means it works. I have and do use it on my neck and ears. I have not used it on my face.
Question:	the picture of the item says 1.5 ounces but the description says 2 ounces... which one is correct
Answer:	2 ounces is correct. No more, no less, but enough to last for 2 people on Koh Phi Phi Island for 5 days.
Question:	Will one of these last 2 weeks with daily use
Answer:	That all depends what "daily use" means. Are you planning on applying it liberally or only using a drop? Will you need to re-apply after 12 hrs, or just be using it once a day? How extensive is the surface area you'll need to cover each day? In my experience, one container will not last 2 weeks. It's pretty small, being only 2 oz.
Question:	How does it smell? I use Off Deep Woods which has that citrus-y weird smell. Is this similar, milder, stronger in terms of smell
Answer:	This should be much milder than Off Deep Woods aerosol that I have used. I can smell the Ultrathon, but it is so much more kind to me than the aerosols. And you don't spray it so it can't end up in your nose (unless you intentionally put it there!). This is probably the best (or one of the best) smelling DEET-based repellent. DEET is very effective but the smell and inhalation were big negatives for me, and I feel that this lotion solves those problems.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone know if this product contains mi? also, if i am applying sunblock should i do so before of after this product
Answer:	Don't know what you mean by "mi". I'd put on the sunscreen first, let it dry, and then put on the Ultrathon. See https://www.worldnomads.com/travel-safety/sunblock-or-insect-repellent-first This is radically good stuff.
Question:	how fast would i use one full tube on vacation in the caribbean
Answer:	My husband and I spent 2 weeks in Africa, and we used almost 2 tubes total (so with our use 1 tube lasts about 2 weeks or more per person). A little goes a long way and you don't want to over apply it. You only use it on exposed skin, and you should avoid contact with clothing. We wore long pants and longer sleeves most of the time though, so if your skin is going to be more exposed you may want to plan for 2 tubes per week.

Product description

For use on clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor gear, Sawyer Permethrin repels or kills disease-spreading ticks (Lyme disease), mosquitoes (West Nile and Zika viruses) and more than 55 other kinds of insects. Perfect for camping, backpacking, hunting, travel, backyard BBQs, picnics, and more, Permethrin insect and tick repellent adds an odorless layer of protection to shirts, jackets, pants, socks, shoes, sleeping bags, tents, netting, and other outdoor, camping, hunting, and travel gear. A University of Rhode Island study (2017) found that people wearing permethrin-treated shoes and socks were 73.6 times less likely to have a tick bite than those wearing untreated footwear. Using it on outdoor gear also helps reduce the mosquito population in your camp and prevents ticks from attaching to you. Permethrin spray bonds to fabric fibers for up to 6 weeks (42 days) of exposure to sun and air or 6 washings. Specially formulated not to stain or damage your clothing, other fabrics, gear, and equipment, it's odorless after drying and is as effective as 100% DEET. To apply, spray Permethrin directly onto clothing and gear with a slow sweeping motion, keeping the bottle about 6 to 8 inches away, and treating each side of the garment for about 30 seconds. The EPA recommends using 4.5 ounces of Permethrin to spray each outfit (consisting of shirt, pants, and socks). Maximize protection by pairing with Sawyer Picaridin topical repellent for the skin. Since 1984, Sawyer has used technological advancements to create products that keep you outdoors — from the backcountry to the backyard — including insect repellents for both skin and clothing, water filters for camping and emergencies, and sun protection.

• Add a layer of protection to your clothing and gear with Permethrin insect and tick repellent spray — perfect for use on shirts, jackets, pants, socks, shoes, boots, sleeping bags, tents, netting, when outdoors, camping, hunting, or on travel
• Ideal for backpacking, backyard BBQs, and other outdoor activities, it's effective against more than 55 kinds of insects — from disease-spreading ticks (Lyme disease) and mosquitoes (West Nile and Zika viruses) to chiggers, spiders, mites, and more
• Permethrin spray bonds to fabric fibers for up to 6 weeks or through 6 washings (whichever comes first) and won't stain or damage clothing, fabrics, plastics, finished surfaces, or outdoor gear; oderless after drying
• Reduce likelihood of a tick bite by 73.6 times by treating shoes and socks with Permethrin (University of Rhode Island study - 2017)
• 24-ounce trigger spray bottle treats five complete outfits (updated EPA dosage is 4.5 ounces per outfit consisting of shirt, pants, and socks); maximize protection by pairing with Sawyer Picaridin topical repellent for the skin

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this on my dog safley
Answer:	The Scotts Wizz Handheld Spreader is designed to spread granular products. Unless the product to be spread is highly powdered or sticky it should spread fine. Several kinds of products are sold under the Preen label. I do not know which product you are interested in using, so I am speculating. The Preen Lawn care products should spread fine because they are designed for use with broadcast spreaders. The Garden Products are generally applied by hand using the sprinkle container, but both the Garden and the Organic Garden products are granular so they should both work unless they have gotten moist. One word of caution though, the recommended applications rates may need to be converted to dial setting by experiment.
Question:	Does the 24oz bottle permethrin come with a sprayer
Answer:	does not work well with sand like granules that r heavier than most. clogs gears and wears batteries down fast
Question:	I thought this thing is odorless. However, I just bought it and the bag it came in has strong odor. Is it possible
Answer:	The problem with NiMH rechargeables is that they are at most 1.2V each. Alkalines are 1.5V each, so trying to use NiMH will only give the device 5V (1.2V x 4) instead of 6V (1.5V x 4). Some devices won't operate at 5V, thinking that the alkalines batteries (really NiMH) are dead. There are several lithium AA batteries available on Amazon that should directly work. They are the type that have micro-usb charge ports on the side of them, and present regulated 1.5V (like alkaline) at their terminals, rather than the typical 3.2-3.6V of unmodified lithium cells. They have a decent capacity, and should easily last a spreading session on an average yard. I use these extensively in devices that take AA alkalines, with excellent results. They are pricey, but save money and waste in the long run. You probably already own the necessary charging infrastructure (a micro-usb cable and a wall-wart usb charger). You can also try to use two 3.2V lithium unmodified rechargeables along with two AA "dummy" cells. This will give 6.4V to the spreader instead of 6.0V from alkalines. I've used this method successfully in a trail camera that takes 8 AA batteries. I use four 3.2V rechargeable lithiums and four dummy AA cells. You will need to buy a charger for these, though. Amazon sells four packs of these batteries, bundled with a cheap charger.
Question:	Is it safe to spray on skin
Answer:	Unfortunately no the rock salt is just too heavy and large for it even at the 9 max opening setting and with fresh batteries it struggles and stops clogs up, maybe if you can find a finer ground rock salt possibly but the little motor seems underpowered it is not heavy duty, ended up using it as a big scoop and shaking it to spread the rock salt. It can handle lightweight things like grass seed very well and other small pellet fertilizers like milorganite. Don't think it would be good for any powders only small pellets. I'd skip this and look into buying a walk behind/push broadcast spreader for spreading rock salt.

Insect Repellent Treatment for Clothing, Gear, and Tents

For use on clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor gear, Sawyer Permethrin Clothing Insect Repellent not only repels insects, it actually kills mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, mites, and more than 55 other kinds of insects on contact. Odorless after drying, Permethrin will not stain or damage clothing, fabrics, plastics, finished surfaces, or any of your gear.

Use Permethrin on clothing by itself or with skin-applied repellents to create the ultimate protective, armor-like insect barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Permethrin is applied to clothing and outdoor gear material, bonding to the fabric fibers for up to 6 weeks or through 6 washings (whichever comes first). When a tick, mosquito, or other insect comes into contact with Permethrin, it absorbs a dose that will either repel or kill the insect. Applied to clothing, tents, outdoor furniture, or sleeping bags, Permethrin is very effective at reducing the mosquito population in your camping area and keeping ticks from attaching to you.

Sawyer Permethrin uses the same active ingredient found in hair shampoos for head lice. However, because your skin breaks down Permethrin within fifteen minutes of contact, it's not useful as a personal protection insect repellent when applied to the skin.

Permethrin-treated clothing and fabric should be your first line of defense, and it can be used in conjunction with a topical skin-based repellent such as Sawyer's Picaridin, MAXI DEET, and Ultra 30 products.

What Can I Treat with Permethrin?

In addition to clothing and accessories like hats and waders, Sawyer Permethrin Insect Repellent is ideal for treating backpacks, tents, camp furniture, hammocks, mosquito netting, luggage, and even bed sheets. Since mosquitoes are better hoppers than flyers, adding more Permethrin-treated landing surfaces around you will improve your protection.

Permethrin is compatible for use even on fragile fabrics such as silk, plus all synthetics and waterproof membrane fabrics (won't affect plastics or finishes). While Permethrin is safe and compatible with almost all fabrics, it has an easier time bonding to soft fabrics like cottons, wools, and synthetic blends.

The Quick Wax can be used daily, weekly or monthly to keep that clean look in the event your car runs through a quick rain storm or sprinkler, or is hit by bird droppings, or exposed to other outside contaminants that can mess up the shinny, newly waxed look that you want your car to have every day.

Simply spray the product on the affected area and wipe dry with a 3M Microfiber Detail Cloth (sold separately) to rejuvenate that mirror finish. The clear coat safe, no build-up formula easily removes grime, dirt and other harmful contaminants without scratching glossy finishes. Quick Wax is recommended for use on painted surfaces, glass, plastic, wheels and tires.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this contain petroleum distillates
Answer:	That is totally dependent on how much you use. I only apply to exposed areas of skin, plus a little ways under pant and shirt seems. My clothes are normally treated with Permethrin. So, normally one tube will last me several applications on ankles, arms, neck, and exposed facial areas. Perhaps four to six applications total. I believe it is totally worth it because when using both I have never been bit by mosquitoes or ticks even when in deep woods.
Question:	What product can i put on top of this wax to make better protection/shine? I know you can use paint sealant and then wax
Answer:	If you are asking if it has a strong smell or nasty smell, the answer is no. I only use this when traveling to mosquito infested areas (rivers, jungles, etc.). For regular use (like travel to cities) i would stick with a spray on like Off. This stuff is thick and takes time to apply properly.
Question:	I understand a carnauba wax shines better, yet this wax which is synthetic lasts longer. Is it okay to alternate the two? Will I really notice a better shine with a carnauba wax
Answer:	If those are biting flies, I would say yes.
Question:	What is the shelf life of the product after the bottle is opened
Answer:	You’d probably have to contact the manufacturer. But whatever it is, it’s better than getting malaria or Japanese Encephalitis.

The clear coat safe, no build-up formula easily removes grime, dirt and other harmful contaminants without scratching glossy finishes. This quick wax is recommended for use on painted surfaces, glass, plastic, wheels and tires.

The quality spray-on wax formula contains top-quality ingredients such as carnauba wax, which is a naturally occurring wax harvested from tropical trees. No other wax achieves the warmth and depth of carnauba wax, which has made it a favorite among automotive professionals. Carnauba wax also protects surfaces against moisture and heat to preserve the original shine of an automobile.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this product good for preventing headlights from turning yellow or cloudy
Answer:	Sylvania makes a kit for restoring headlamp lenses,I used it once and lasted about 3 years with almost a new car look.The cost is 19.00 $ and the finishing step is applying a clear coat to protect your work.There are other kits but they don't work as well.Once they are yellowed and fogged up,it's your only move or pay for a new assembly for big bucks,good luck !
Question:	is this safe on finished leather sofa
Answer:	Unless it is a very high end automobile, automobile seats are not made of entirely of genuine leather, it's a man-made blend of genuine leather and synthetic vinyl, and if you read the fine print you'll find wording describing the trim as "leather accented" or having "leather accents" or say "finishes specified as leather may contain elements of genuine leather, polyurethane leather (leather substitute) or man-made materials, or a combination thereof". That being said, 303 is a better protectant for these surfaces than a true leather conditioner would be.
Question:	Does this contain silicone
Answer:	This user CHiP on January 16, 2017, stated that it contains 12% silicone listed on the datasheet; he's incorrect. If you go to their website, the datasheet does NOT state that or anything similar. To find the Datasheet, go to the product manufacturer's website and scroll down on the product page on the bottom where it states "Download the Safety Data Sheet" with a link to a PDF.
Question:	Is this new version of 303 aero. protect. better than the original? In what way? If it's better, why is it cheaper
Answer:	Hello,Thank you for posting your question about our product. 303® Products indeed went through a label update recently. However, the formula, features and benefits all remain the same. One of the reasons for the price difference is because now we manufacture 303® Products inhouse (in our Chicago factory), and no longer use a third party. Hope this helps to clarify your concerns. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us at [email protected]. Thanks again!
