This video from Ranger Ready TV will show you how to apply Permethrin 0.5% clothing-worn insect repellent to protect against ticks, mosquitos, and other biting insects.

Ranger Ready’s clothing-worn Permethrin Insect Repellent is a scent-free bug spray that will keep you and your loved ones protected from mosquitos, ticks, chiggers, and more. It’s safe to apply to items such as shoes, shirts, bedsheets, tents, backpacks, and other outdoor gear and can even be used to keep ticks away from dogs and horses. Unlike DEET, which may damage clothing and materials, Permethrin will not ruin your outdoor gear or clothing and is fragrance-free, non-greasy, and even stronger when paired with our body-worn Picaridin 20% Insect Repellent.
