Product description
Repel Permethrin Fabric Treatment Kit contains everything you need to treat clothing, bedding or any fabric to protect against mosquitoes, bedbugs, scabies, ticks, lice and other crawling and flying insects. Permethrin is an insecticide effective at killing insects and arthropods which come in contact with it.
Each kit contains 2 sets of gloves, bags, string, permethrin vials and instructions. Each set is enough to treat 1 large item of clothing (eg 1 pair of medium weight trousers), or additional smaller items. The weight and size of the fabric being treated will affect the amount of items able to be treated. Only treat outer layers of clothing – not underwear etc. Once treated and airdried, the fabric will stay treated for up to 10 washes, or in the case of mosquito nets (or items unlikely to be washed) 6 months duration.
Repel Tropical Strength, Repel Ultra or Active Duty Insect Repellents in conjunction with Repel Permethrin Fabric Treatment Kits should be your products of choice to protect against dengue fever, Zika Virus, chikungunya, malaria, Ross River fever, West Nile fever and other diseases transmitted by the bite of infected insects.
