Permethrin is an synthetic insecticide naturally derived from the chrysanthemum plant.  It actually "KILLS" mosquitos and ticks. And while most publications say it is not a "repellant"  (... Sawyer says it has repellant properties)  many including Denton Doc have seen it 1st hand permethrin treated clothing repelling both mosquitos and ticks.

I spray my clothes and Copper Spur UL2 tent no seeum netting with permethrin every year before I head up to Quetico and it has done a fantastic job protecting me from mosquito and ticks.
