Bulk instructions for a less wasteful Picaridin spray use:
Question: Is it possible to buy a refill for the spray bottle? I do not want to throw the pump in the trash for each bottle I order. Great product
Answer:
If your going to use multiple bottles of permethrine...this is what
i did. I bought a bottle of permethrine 36.8%, sometimes called
"permethrine SFR". Then I got a one gallon lawn and garden sprayer.
The are about $10 dollars . The just dilute the permethrine to the
.5% strength like the sawyer's is. That is half of one percent.
Dilute as follows. 1 gallon of water gets 2 ounces of 36.8%
permethrine to give you .5% . Sooo much cheaper this way. And your
right why buy and throw out all those plastic bottles, Permethrine
SFR is available on Amazon. The bottle have a ounce measuring thing
built in. Make gallons of the stuff for so little money...Or of
course you could buy the 10% permethrine and just dilute that to
.5% to make a little less. Or dilute the SFR to 1%...that lasts
longer on clothes. Just use 4 ounces of SFR in one gallon (my
preference) I treat everything I wear from the waist down, socks
and shoes, pants shorts. My wife's clothes too. Hope that
helps. see less By Scott 1953 on May 9, 2014
