Use Green Armor Insect repellent Permethrin Ready – To – Use clothing and gear treatment to give you an important layer of protection against dangerous biting insects. Green Armor Permethrin treated clothing and gear kills and repels ticks, mosquitoes, chiggers, and mites that land on the treated items and substantially reduces the likelihood of bites. Use to treat shoes, socks, pants, shirts, sleeping bags, bedrolls, tents, camp chairs, and more. Green Armor’s permethrin binds to the fibers in the fabrics and lasts up to 6 weeks, even after laundering. Treat clothing and allow to dry for at least 2 hours before wearing. Once dry, the non-staining treatment is completely odorless. Increase your personal protection by treating any exposed skin with an EPA registered skin insect repellent such as deet (at least 25% active ingredient), picaridin (at least 20% active ingredient), or oil of lemon eucalyptus (at least 30% active ingredient).
