  Something to consider if you're on the fence about treating your clothes with Permethrin?

I treated my tent and some clothing with Permethrin last year, seemed to work.  I bought a bottle off Amazon, mixed with some water in a labeled spray bottle, spray and let dry.  I do worry about overusing it though as even though it is natural, doesn't mean it is good for you.  Lyme disease is not good either, so I try to find a balance.

Another use, I spray the soffit of my house under the eaves at the gable peaks where wasps like to make nests and it keeps them away.
