User questions & answers

Question:	I want to cover a door opening...will the bar work if placed over the door jam, and the net hangs down over the door opening
Answer:	The net comes without a bar, just the fabric, but it should work to cover the opening if it's 36x80 or smaller.
Question:	What does "bar" mean? Is there a solid structure of some kind
Answer:	There's no structure or bar. Only the kind you make from PVC. It's just the net. My son & husband loved it for BSA summer camp.
Question:	What about Noseeums ? is the mesh fine enough to keep them out
Answer:	I've had no problem with noseeums when I've used this net camping on the beach in Cost Rica. Nothing really gets though except crabs that crawl under it.
Question:	how wide is it from corner to corner
Answer:	200 x 68" (rectangular configuration the net measures roughly 61" long x 28" wide x 64" high). Nylon mesh mosquito bar; insect barrier net. 12 total nylon tie straps to secure netting at both top and bottom.

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	So if im wearing nylon (a synthetic), i can't spray this on the clothing
Answer:	It came with a cardboard sheath slipped over the blade but this was just for shipping. I put some duct tape over the cardboard and am now using that when I store it. I don't know if a bespoke sheath is made for it.
Question:	does this work for fleas
Answer:	Yes. I bought mine for $14.95 and tried it right away to see if it fit properly. It didn't fit perfectly, but It will do the job. It is a sharp blade. My pole is the 30 ft.pole.
Question:	Does it repel ticks
Answer:	The best one I found was the Sun Joe max extension less than 16ft. 16ft with a motor on end is challenging enough to place in a particular area. Good luck.
Question:	Can I use for 5 year old
Answer:	Made in China

User questions & answers

Question:	How long do snake bite kits last before they expire? 1 yr, 3 yr 10yr
Answer:	I don't think they ever do, however maybe make sure it's still in good condition and call the manufacture
Question:	Hi. Can this be used on a medium sized dog? Thanks
Answer:	Hello, A medium dog probably. But the plastic material the cups are made of, is crap! They will not hold suction for long, if at all. especially on dogs. The old snakebite version used rubber cups. They held the suction very effectively. If I were you, I'd buy the rubber cup version. But they're sort of hard to find. Surplus stores are a good place to start looking, as well as Sporting Goods. Rubber is better!

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this work against the chikugunya mosquitos
Answer:	I got it to protect my toddler this summer. It worked well. When I forgot it we could not even sit on our front porch, after applying it he was bite free.
Question:	Can you apply this to your face before applying makeup? Or, in other words, does this work under your makeup
Answer:	Personally, I wouldn't apply it to my face. The directions state to keep out of eyes and to not use on broken skin. Nothing stated about applying to the face.
Question:	Does this work well for flea bites? If it doesn't, then I'm not gonna buy this
Answer:	It does, and for everyone who think this is about regular fleas, is not, sand fleas or sand flies live in the tropical beaches like Florida or the caribbean and their bite is worst than mosquitos.
Question:	What is the difference, it any, between this and the Avon SKin So Soft Bug Guard Expediton version in the green bottle
Answer:	The Expedition is meant to be for long deep woods excursions where a stronger bug repellent is needed for longer periods of time (it essentially is stronger). It comes in a pump spray or aerosol spray. This Bug Guard Plus comes in a lotion that is easy to apply to children or in cases where people do not want a spray. The fragrance of each is also different.
