Permethrin
Permethrin is an insecticide and in some specific cases used as a medication.
The insect repellant is sprayed on clothing and then dried. When the Permethrin dries it binds with the fabric. Permethrin incapacitates and kills insects when they come into contact with the Permethrin on the clothing.
**PERMETHRIN IS TOXIC TO CATS IN LIQUID FORM.
DO NOT APPLY PERMETHRIN NEAR CATS.
Apply Repellant on Clothing Outdoors
You should only apply Permethrin to clothes outdoors. You should spray Permethrin about 6 to 8 inches away from the clothing (while not being worn). Be careful to spray in a slow sweeping motion to lightly coat the surface of the fabric. One must allow the fabric to completely dry on both the inner and outer fabric before use.
**ALWAYS FOLLOW MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS
Liquid Pooling May Occur
If you apply Permethrin solution to tightly woven fabrics (or water resistant fabrics) you might observe some pooling of the solution. Be sure to allow the liquid to slowly soak into the fabric and dry completely.
