Insect Shield process binds a proprietary permethrin formula tightly to fabric fibers-resulting in effective, odorless insect protection that lasts the expected lifetime of apparel. Permethrin has been successfully used in the United States as an U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered product since 1977

Permethrin. I believe it can go through up to 70 washings or so and still be effective.

it tells you on the back of bottle ..depending on how big your spray bottle is. you use witch hazel water and so many drops of spray. I can only say that it works really well here in my area against black flies masquittos ..sand flees . you may want to contact the distributor and ask them as I am not familiar with what you will incounter there

I have no idea. But, if it's an ant sting, you can use ammonia. The commercial bug bite remedies smell exactly and it works great!

Dottie...the labels says it kills and repels ants beetles (non specified) centipedes cockroaches crickets earwigs fleas millipedes pantry pests pill bugs silverfish spiders sow bugs ticks and other crawling insect pests. I'd say give a bottle a shot, try to spray it on the beetle itself and the affected areas.

Description says treated with insect shield. A quick google search revealed it is permethrin. So, the answer is a definitive yes.

Windex, BarKeepers Friend, or Ceramabrite all work great. Ceramabrite seems to last longer than the others. Probably the wax coating it leaves behind.

Wrist band are made of soft plastic....active ingredients are Geraniol Oil 15%..Lemongrass Oil 5%..Citonella Oil 2%...When combined together these chemicals give off a scent that is offensive to Mosquitos...I wear these wrist bands while on the golf course...they are very effective at repelling Mosquitos.. Can also be worn one on your ankle and one on your wrist...the ankle band effective Mosquito repelling tool as well..

This garden safe product is primarily made for fungus or mites, there is another Garden safe product called insecticidal soap effective for Japanese beetles, mites and other insects. If your concern is in the ground I prefer Spectracide Triazacide for most ground insects and I have never had any insect issues for the season. I do hope that this was helpful. Many blessings.

This is just the tool for dispensing a fog. If the insect repellant you put in this unit will work for gnats you should be in business! I use one for skeeters. Took a bit of looking to find out what worked best. It smokes and sends out a nice fog. Find some bug juice that suits your needs and you will be happy.

I used a garden sprayer (used to spray insect repellent etc.) worked well for us and would recommend setting sprayer on fine spray.

I had to make a new batch of bug repellant today so I used 20 drops of Bug Off in approximately 2 cups of witch hazel and shook it up really good. It smells even better than when I mixed it with alcohol and distilled water. It says on the label of the bottle I got last year to mix it with witch hazel to make a spray.

yes it does. it works pretty good as a bug repellent. I use it for my neighbors dog, I dilute one part SSS with water and spray it on him n it helps keep the mosquitoes away. my neighbor uses it too to keep them off him. I also use it on my cats to help kill fleas. its a great product! I only dilute it for pets. hope this helps.

2.5 oz., so you can carry in the plane in a ziplock bag. Lasts a long time - it's pungent but effective, and smells much better than other herbal bug repellant.

It's a spray on flea and tick repellant. But I did not find it to be at all effective.

If it had Bti, they'd tell you up front as that would be the active ingredient. This is made of strong smelling plant oils and is short lived repellant for the dry parts of the yard. For water, you want mosquito dunks or mosquito bits. They have Bti which works in water. It is a bacteria that harms Mosquitos and black flies.

I purchased two "Natural/Green" Tilley hats - It is white on the outside and underneath the rim is green. My father has had his Tilley hat for over 20 years and it is still looks great - it goes through the washing machine from time to time and comes out perfect.

I think it is more for healthy skin and dry scalp conditions. Not sure about critter repellant!
