the price is a bit high for polyester soaked in permathrin. you can do this yourself by mixing permathrin and water and put your cloths in the mix. then just let it air dry outside.

anonomousHave you read Section Hiker's article on doing this at home? It is possible, but the permathrin is only effective for about six washings, whereas the industrial method last for 70+ washings (which is many years or the lifetime of the shirt for most owners, who use this for backpacking and travel). Check out the article, which includes instructions on how to do this yourself. http://sectionhiker.com/permethrin-soak-method-guide/ and read up on ExOfficio's take on this https://exofficio.com/exofficio-technologies/technology-bugsaway.html

DannyMilksthanks I'll check it out. this is true that the soak method does only last around 7 washings. its just more affordable for me to do it this way. but 70 washings as described with this method would allow me to be more lazy and possibly save money in the longrun. depending on the variables
another thing to note is that permathrin doesn't work anymore in some regions. bugs have now come accustom to it because of its heavy use.

GangstaPizzaDon't worry. I didn't. But I did find some on discount at Sierra trading post. Was very convenient not soaking and drying diy.
I've been washing the bugs away shirts in the washer with only little amounts of detergent and then letting them air dry, hopefully that should prolong the chemicals.
Even at this costs on MD, I think it's worth it for convenience. And if it wears out I can always buy more permathin and soaking them in a bucket.
