Studies have shown that when ticks come into contact with permethrin treated clothing, the ticks quickly become toxic to the permethrin and fall off clothing. Permethrin treated clothing is odorless and lasts on the clothing for multiple washings. It is relatively non-toxic to humans but ticks are incredibly sensitive to permethrin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
