    They had it with the camping supplies when I was in there the other day. The 40% stuff says that the other 60% is "Inert Ingredients"? Not sure what that means, but I don't think it's water. Probably some kind of oil? As soon as it hits water it turns instantly cloudy white.

    I've got to get out there and do this. I think rather than mixing it up, I'll go for the already mixed spray.

    I feel the same way, especially now that I know its so cheap. I always assumed it was expensive especially since the exificio shirts with it are 20 bucks more. But at these prices it would be silly not to at least try it out.

    Mwil3,

    the 40% stuff is the same thing as the sawyer right, just at a higher concentration and marketed towards farmers?

    I believe it's pretty much the same thing. I've heard that some brands smell for a while, but this is my first go with the stuff, so I can't say for sure. I can say that the stuff I have leaves no smell when it's dry. It would be easier to do it with the premixed stuff, but just an FYI, I've already gone through about 40oz of the mix, so that could add up pretty quick depending on what all you wanted to treat.

    What ratio are you using? I plan on treating at least my hammock and a few shirts and one pair or shorts. Maybe socks and shoes but we will see.

    A word of caution...Permethrin is extremely toxic to cats. I was going to treat my gear and was very glad I read up on it.

    Only in its wet state. once it has bonded to the fabric it is safe. But cats are lame anyway

    DOGS RULE!
