Once it dries, the smell goes away. Then again I don't have nose like a deer so maybe it stinks to high heaven and thats why i never got anything last season haha.
Horrible, hate to read this.
I also use the stuff from Tractor Supply (the concentrate). Not sure if it's petroleum based or not but I don't recall having a smell afterwards. I'll check when I get home.
I'm looking to save some $$$ over Sawyers but it seems Martin's is the only one recommended, and between the petroleum and lack of specific uses matching my requirements spelled out here

I reluctantly had to go with 2 more bottles of Sawyers to top off my supplies.
That's what I useI found what I was looking for....
Bringing up an old post.... I'm about to spray down and my bottle of sawyers will be empty. Trying to get the water or petroleum conversation started back up. What did you use this season and how it worked? I was leaning toward the water based stuff....but the sawyers sure does work good and it definitely has petroleum products in it.
I am wanting to get away from the store bought and get a concentrate
So plenty of people use Permethrin, but I did see an article a little while back on a study that tentatively linked its use to to some increased risks. However, I can't find the article now so I may be misremembering details.No side effects on humans with any of this? Most permethrian I've seen says do not allow contact with skin I thought.
I have that. It does have a long lasting odor but its great for spraying buildings, work clothes, etc.
The concentrate has different uses, so there are different mixing ratios.What are you guys using for mixing ratios to dilute your permethrin? Does the concentrate come w/ diluting recommendations? I'm not too concerned w/ smell since I primarily need help warding off ticks during turkey season (but don't necessarily want a terrible odor). I get hammered by ticks BAD in the spring, so I'm hoping soaking my clothes will help.

For hunting clothes, why not just send them to Insect Shield. Lifetime protection, no odor. They charge by the pound.
Gonna have to check out sending clothes for permanent treatment
