Here is the write up on this product

For use on clothing, tents, gardening apparel, and other outdoor gear, SAWYER® PREMIUM CLOTHING INSECT REPELLENT not only repels insects, it kills ticks, mosquitoes, chiggers, mites, and more than 55 other kinds of insects on contact. It is effective against ticks that carry Lyme disease and other fairly common diseases like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. The active ingredient Permethrin is the synthetic version of pyrethrum, a natural insecticide from the Chrysanthemum flower. Permethrin is odorless after drying and will not stain or damage clothing, fabrics, plastics, finished surfaces, or any of your outdoor equipment. A single application lasts 6 washings on clothing or 42 days (6 weeks) of sun exposure. The 24 ounce bottle of Sawyer Permethrin can treat 4 complete outfits.
