4.0 out of 5 stars Worked well, May 16, 2006

This review is from: Sawyer SP602 Premium Clothing Insect Repellent Aerosol Spray, 9-Ounce (Lawn & Patio)

We purchased this for a hike that we were doing this year, and previously at this same area we had a serious problem with Ticks. This year we didn't even see any ticks so I can't say if this product would have helped in that area. But, we did see a lot of mosquitoes, and of the 5 of us that went there was a total of 1 bite, for both days we were in the woods.

The spray doesn't seem to repel the mosquitoes, since we saw a lot of them, and had them buzzing around us. I am not sure of its killing power since I didn't see any dead mosquitoes on my clothes. But I didn't see any live mosquitoes on my clothes either.

It was kind of a hassle treating the clothes prior to the trip, so I would only recommend this product if you knew you were going to a bug infested location for a few days. Otherwise use a more convenient bug spray.

1.0 out of 5 stars You'll Waste At Least Half, April 14, 2011

The Permethrin itself is fine, five stars (this is the chemical the Department of Defense uses for troops going into buggy areas).

HOWEVER, the Sawyer SP602 aerosol can is atrocious. You will waste AT LEAST half the product because it cascades (not dribbles) down the sides of the can instead of being sprayed on the clothing or equipment being treated.

SAFETY ALERT: be sure to wear rubber gloves when you use this product; otherwise your hand will be soaked with the Permethrin liquid.

If you insist on buying the aerosol can version, buy at least twice what you think you'll need and hopefully you'll end up with enough for your needs.

We will never buy this specific product again; in the future we'll get one of the soaking products or pump sprays.

Again, the basic product is fine. The problem is the aerosol can.

I can't speak to whether or not the spray actually works, but the can that I was sent leaked all over the place. By the time I finished treating my hammock, I think there was more permethrin on my hands than on the hammock. It was a mess!
