 You'll Waste At Least HalfApr 14, 2011
By A. B. Systems
"Thunderjet"
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.

 Worked wellMay 16, 2006
By Earthworm
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.

Leaky CanMay 19, 2011
By K
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!

Won't buy againApr 28, 2011
By 0321mar
Have ordered this product numerous times from Bass Pro. It works and is worth the money. But thought I would save some money and buy the same product through Amazon.. Big big mistake. When I opened the box the first thing I noticed is it wasn't the same can as avertised, the can in the advertisement on the web was green and the can that was delivered was yellow which made me wonder. Don't get me wrong, the chemical does work. The problem is that I bought 6 cans and all 6 wasted more out of the can where the nozzle goes into the can than comes out of the spray tip. Pours out of the can like a faucet drip. Don't really know if this is really a sawyer product or a knock off. I do know that I ordered more from bass pro and it was what was advertised and sprayed just fine without any waste. Buy Cabelas or Bass Pro, the cost isn't that much more

other than the nozzle holeJul 19, 2011
By looloo
I ordered this product to help stop chiggers.. and followed instructions to spray on clothing especially around cuffs, etc.. the warnings also said to keep off bare skin, eyes, mouth, children etc..
The can sprayed out the nozzle but about 1/3 of the liquid somehow puddled in the top of the can when held up right and out right dripped/ran out if held horizontal.... in this malfunction process rinsed whoever was spraying the poison. This spray can had a very cheap nozzle and wasted lots of repellent ( dripping from around the nozzle top)..
Very poor quality control @ best..
And of course this 9 oz can costing more than $1 per oz would not cover 4 sets of outfits.. barely covered two pants..
Totally unacceptable..
