This has "petroleum distillates" mentioned on its label, so does that make it a poor choice? It seems since it's 36.8% it is less expensive than buying the 10% variety. Thoughts?

Just dosed the new Chameleon with Permethrin spray.
Stretched it wide with a pair of snow stakes [capped with .45 casings and duct tape].
The spray settled so well thru the mesh that the bottom was already damped down when I flipped it to do the other side... just had to touch up the edges and gathered ends.
Now I am just waiting for it to fully dry and for the odor to dissipate...
BugZ be droppin like flies tonight!

If odor is a problem, I'd use the Sawery stuff. It's so odorless that I use it bow hunting and deer can't smell it. I think that the soak works a little better than the spray, but it can be hard to find. I just got some from; https://www.travmed.com/collections/...ermethrin-soak
The permethrin for use on livestock usually contains petroleum and I'm not sure if it's safe to use on fabric. Don't let your permethrin freeze or it becomes less effective.

My experience is that the Sawyers permethrin does have an odor. I sold a previous hammock that I had treated, and the guy who bought it commented about the smell.... Well, I did remember a slight smell to it, but thought nothing of it. I attributed it to the fabric. Well fast forward to new hammock and once I treated everything with permethrin, I recognized the same smell. It's not offensive to me, but there is definitely a distinct odor to all my gear treated with the Sawyer product.
