Permethrin Premium Insect Repellent is not allowed in Ontario/Canada

I found this info and application video on the Sawyers website and thought it had some good info. Hopefully this link works.

And NOT to be found in a store near you (Canada)...

Deffinetly not in a store in Canada, but considering it has the same amount permethrin as the UltraShield EX that was posted earlier and is sold in Canada it gives one an idea of the application process and what permethrin is derived from.

X2 on the UltraShield EX sold at TSC, I use it on my clothe's and dog. Works great.

But with the permethrin it stop instantly and fell off. I will try and find it and will post article. Also Permethrin will last a week or more without applying again.

Premium stuff will last the entire season, it has written in the bottle 4-6 washes before reapplication is required.

The Minnesota Insect-Borne Disease Education Council conducted a field test in Jay Cook State Park in northern Minnesota, and found that the permethrin products outperformed the DEET-containing tick repellents. A shoe was sprayed with Duranon (0.5% permethrin). Three weeks later, it was tested against a recently sprayed shoe using Deep Woods Off (35 % DEET). Ticks that made contact with the Duranon-sprayed shoe immediately rolled up and dropped off. Ticks on the soaking-wet DEET saturated shoe continued to crawl unimpaired.

Sawyers has no scent once it dries, but you have to get it from the States or I think somebody said amazon earlier in this tread
