I was going to order Sawyer Premium insect repellant which repels insects on clothing for 6 weeks or 4-6 washes. the active ingredient is 0.05% Permethrin. So instead I don't see why this product couldn't be used at a diluted rate (and what would the amount per gallon be to dilute it? As with the other product I should be able to use it in shoes, clothes, and around the house hopefully on couches, floors, rugs furniture, right?
Permethrin SFR is a different formulation than the products that are labeled for use on clothing and other surfaces and it should not be used to treat clothing or other areas not listed on the product label under any circumstances. We have to advise to follow the instructions on the product label. Even though the products contain the same active ingredients, the formulations are very different. Could you tell us what you are treating and we can make a product recommendation more appropriate for your use?
