1) I purchased Sawyer odorless permethrin spray (although the box isn't even open and it smells like pesticide). Before I spray this stuff, will the clothing stink like pesticide or will it lose it's smell once it sprays on and dries?
2) Do I spray it also on my new backpack and new tent? Fleece and nylon hats? Boots? Or just shirt, socks, gaiters, Trousers/shorts?
3) I also purchased Repel 100 insect repellent that allegedly repels insects for up to 10'hours. ingredients: 98.11% DEET, 1.89% other ingredients.
Is the % of DEET too high? Seems it.
Thx in advance. BTW, this is for a section hike in central and northern VA.
