Depends on the strength you are using...we get the 13.3%. I believe there is a 10% strength also. We mix ours in a 32 oz plastic sprayer and we use less than an ounce per sprayer full. I've been reading up on how to treat clothing and I've found that many people use the 10% diluted to 0.50% which is 6.4 oz per gallon. That sounds strong, but I guess if we were making it by the gallon we would be using just under 4 oz.
I forgot to apply the frontline plus so my golder retriever puppy attracted the ticks like a magnet last weekend. Won't make that mistake again. I've never had to remove ticks from my dogs while they are on frontline.

For what it is worth I use the ElimiTick clothing from GameHide and find it works tremendously on ticks. It has the permethrin product or something similar already embedded within it in. I think it last around 70 washings as well.
I bought aerosol spray that I sprayed my turkey hunting cloths with. I still pulled a tick of yesterday but I think that was because it was colder than I expected and wore a jacket over the shirt I treated.
I will look at how strong it is and report back later.
36.8/7.3=5.04 so I would say mix it 7 parts water to 1 part of your permethrin.
I don't know if its been said but don't spray your clothes while there on you. Spray them and let them dry before putting them on. Also this method will allow you to wash your clothes a few times and it will still be effective.
I just did a quick search on permethrin and skin contact. Seems if you have scabies the cure is a 5% permethrin cream applied to the entire body and left on for 12 to 14 hours. Based on that I think your safe with some sweating through your pants and socks.
Nope, snow is gone here except for a very few spots. We were up your way today (Zorbaz on Gull), kind of surprised to see one lake wide open and another with only a few feet around the shore open.
I was near "the cities" at my g-daughers dance recital yesterday (nearly 4 hours worth :rolleyes:). Yep, some lakes have lost their ice. I'm looking at 100 yards of open water here....and the ice is blown toward the other side of the lake. I think it will be out in a few days - maybe today....but its pretty cold. My place is about 2 miles from Zorbaz.....as the crow flies. Good boating destination. :)

I've always shied away from this stuff because I thought "man this must be some strong strong stuff if I'm not supposed let it contact my skin at all, and strong chemical = health hazard"
I may have to re-consider this stuff in the future :confused:
Does anyone treat outdoor areas around your home or shop? I have considered treating these areas we frequent....and for visitors. Suggestions and Advice?
