What is the most effective insect repellent should I use for clothing and gear?

The most effective insect repellents for clothing, shoes, bed nets and other gear contain permethrin. It’s a compelling product that kills mosquitos, but also ticks and other insects.

You can buy permethrin-treated clothes and gear, or you can apply permethrin as a spray on your clothes. In this case, protection will usually last up to 6 hours.

You can even wash permethrin-treated clothing and gear multiple times without decreasing its effectiveness.

It’s possible to use permethrin on your clothes in combination with DEET on your skin.
