I had no ticks on my clothes whilst using this, seems to work good
Didn’t get the full test and made my linen trousers feel a bit claggy. Bought for a trip to the Amazon rain forest, but as it rained a lot there were no mosquitos, so it didn’t really get a good test. I liked the fact it was a manual spray not aerosol.
Bought it for tropical travel mosquito nets. Everything that landed on it died
This has no smell which is unusual
For these products and dies what it’s supposed to
We are avid mushroom foragers. However, in Scotland in the summer/autumn in 2020 there have been many ticks that can spoil the pleasure of being out in the woods. We have applied this repellant to our clothing with the result that we have had no ticks after starting to use it. Others who have been out with us on the same occasions have had several ticks attaching. This repellant has to be applied at least 2 hours on the garments before wearing, waiting for it to dry. However, it remains effective for up to two weeks afterwards. I would call this “industrial grade” repellant. We have used it for managing ticks and we have also not had issues with either mosquitoes or midges (although they have not been much of an issue this year). The repellant is not suitable for childrens’ clothing.
Bought it for 10 week travel in SE Asia. Covered most of our outer clothes before we left UK and took a second bottle with us. Unnoticeable smell, no damage to any of our clothes or shoes, or any any surface we used this on.
Used second bottle on both soft and hard surfaces in certain places we stayed where creepy crawlies where active. Lifesystems Ex4 Anti Mosquito Clothing Treatment also works on other surfaces rather than just clothes and it kills/repels more than just mosquitoes.
Worked really well, no bites and activity of insects usually completely stopped in places we used it. Well worth the money, and brought peace of mind to a nervous sleeper when insects seem to be too active.
As with many products such as this, it is difficult to know just how effective they are based on whether or not you can be sure you would have been bitten by mosquitoes in the first instance. That said, it is a very easy product to apply, and given the potential harm being bitten by mosquitoes can cause, it has to be the case that it is better to be safe than sorry.
Living in the South Downs area in Sussex I’m now the proud host to the Lyme disease bacterium due to a tick bite. I wasn’t even aware of it – the most potent tick is the juvenile and likely to be no larger than a poppy seed. This means they’re capable of making their way into shoes/boots, and through socks.
So, if you’re walking in woods, grassland, moorland, heathland etc, then buy this and then spray the shoes and boots of you and yours on a monthly basis. It’s the easiest and most effective means of significantly improving your chances of avoiding any one of the three unpleasant diseases spread by ticks in this country.
Just do it.
EDIT: it also has another use for getting rid of spiders in the home. Now, I know spiders are harmless and beneficial, and really they don’t bother me. However, the false widow seems to becoming prevalent where i live. They can give a bite which can turn nasty.
I somehow managed to spray all bottle on my pants but it may be enough for two pairs if you economise. After all i got skin rash from my pants after several uses. Maybe a bottle was too much for one pair and it does stink quite a bit, could not imagine myself wearing treated clothes all the time.
Hoverer, it works against ticks i tested it outside, some ticks would fall off in seconds some in minutes and few stayed on treated pants for 30 minutes moving very slowly or looked stagnated.
Will try to wash my treated pants with detergent to reduce the harsh smell and wear underpants to avoid skin contact, this shall eliminate negative side effects of the product.
My bottle did not leak unlike for others that complained about it.
This is effective stuff. I actually bought it specifically as a garden insecticide. At one time you could buy Permethrin for many years in garden centres, but the good old EU decided to ban its use for that purpose as it’s highly toxic to all insects and fish, but apparently not to mammals other than cats. You can safely eat food 48 hours after spraying. It’s very useful for killing aphids that infest the leaves of roses, strawberries, beans etc. For this purpose you need to dilute it down by about 5 parts water to one, but it does the trick. But as it also kills bees and other useful pollinating insects, if you ever use it as an insecticide try not to spray it on any flowers.
Good value (under 8).
