I hate to bust your bubble. But it does have a odor. Use only permethrin WITHOUT petroleum13% permethrin dilute with water works great no ticks or chiggers when it's dry there's no Oder one bottle will last a few yearsView attachment 14315View attachment 14315View attachment 14315
The petroleum is to keep it more rain/water proof. The petroleum embeds the material/ animal hair, and resist the water like most petroleums do.from what I have read, if it dosent have petroleum in it it dosent stick to clothes very good. since the petroleum is the carrier and some of this stuff is not intended for use on clothes.

I would agree that it would last longer and probably more affective. But the smell just isn't worth it imo
BothHow strong is the petroleum smell? Like worried a deer may smell it, or you sit there smelling yourself?

I used a brand that had petroleum distillates once on my clothes the night before a hike. The smell on the clothes the next day was bad enough to give me a headache if I wore them indoors.How strong is the petroleum smell? Like worried a deer may smell it, or you sit there smelling yourself?

Wow. That's rough.Tractor Supply Company carries the concentrated Permethrin on the shelf in most stores.
I DESPISE ticks! My daughter got Lyme disease when she was 2 yrs old, and I got the Alpha-Gal "meat" allergy (can't eat any mammals) about 7 years ago.
