Green Armor Insect Repellent Permethrin RTU, Trigger Spray, 32 Ounce

Product Overview

The Green Armor Insect Repellent Permethrin RTU (Ready-to-Use) is a powerful, long-lasting solution designed to keep biting insects at bay. This 32-ounce trigger spray contains 0.5% permethrin, a synthetic compound that mimics natural insect repellents found in chrysanthemum flowers. Unlike DEET-based repellents that you apply to your skin, permethrin is specifically formulated for use on clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor gear. It bonds tightly to fabric fibers, providing residual protection that lasts through multiple wash cycles.

Key Features and Benefits

• Effective Insect Repellent: Permethrin is proven to repel over 55 types of insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, mites, and flies. This reduces the risk of insect-borne diseases such as Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and Zika.
• Long-Lasting Protection: One application remains effective for up to six weeks or six washes, whichever comes first. This means you can treat your gear once and enjoy extended protection without reapplying.
• Ready-to-Use Trigger Spray: No mixing or dilution required. Simply spray directly onto fabrics and allow to dry. The convenient 32-ounce bottle covers multiple items, making it ideal for families or frequent outdoor enthusiasts.
• Odorless and Non-Staining: Permethrin is virtually odorless when dry and does not stain most fabrics. It can be used on cotton, polyester, nylon, and wool blends.
• Safe When Used as Directed: When applied to clothing and gear, permethrin poses minimal risk to humans and pets. It is not intended for direct skin application.

How to Use

Using Green Armor Insect Repellent Permethrin RTU is simple. Start by ensuring the items you want to treat are clean and dry. Hold the spray bottle about 6-8 inches from the fabric surface. Apply a light, even mist until the fabric is slightly damp but not saturated. Pay special attention to cuffs, collars, and openings where insects may enter. Allow the treated items to dry completely before wearing or using — this typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on humidity. For best results, treat clothing outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Do not apply near open flames or while smoking. The treatment remains effective for up to six weeks or six washes. To refresh protection after that period, simply reapply.

Who It Is For

This product is ideal for anyone who spends time outdoors and wants to avoid insect bites without constantly reapplying skin repellents. It is especially useful for hikers, campers, backpackers, hunters, fishermen, gardeners, and outdoor workers. Families with children can benefit from treating kids' clothing to reduce the need for skin-applied repellents. Travelers visiting areas with high insect-borne disease risk will find it a valuable addition to their packing list. Additionally, pet owners can treat their own clothing but should not apply directly to pets — use only on human gear.
