When maximum protection against insect bites is needed or desired, the ideal solution is to use a combination of DEET on exposed skin, and wear permethrin-treated clothing. An extended-duration DEET insect repellent (Ultrathon®) and permethrin-treated clothing is the standard personal protection system used by the U.S. military deployed in areas of the world where insect-borne disease is a real threat. One field study showed that the use of these products together provided 99.9% protection against mosquito bites, in an environment where unprotected persons received an average of 1,188 bites per hour!
One of the best things about permethrin is its length of effectiveness per application. Clothing soaked in permethrin solution protects up to 6 weeks and through 6 washings, whichever comes first.
Contents:
1 Ultrathon 2-oz. Lotion
One 6-oz. bottle of permethrin solution, 1 treatment bag, waterproof gloves, and instructions.
One bottle of permethrin is sufficient to treat a set of garments consisting of a shirt, trousers, and socks or one mosquito net. Soak your items in the permethrin/water solution for 2 hours then hang to dry. Effective for a minimum of 6 weeks.
