October 21, 2025 • 6 min read • 4,100+ reviews
Treat 5+ complete outfits with one bottle, and each treatment lasts 6 weeks or 6 washes. This is the most cost-effective way to apply CDC-recommended protection to your entire household.
The Case for Bulk Permethrin
Most outdoor enthusiasts start with small bottles, then realize they need more:
- Small bottles (~5oz) treat only 1-2 outfits
- Families need enough for multiple people's clothing
- Serious hikers want to treat multiple outfit combinations
- The 24oz size costs less per ounce than small bottles
The 24oz trigger spray bottle solves all these problems at once.
