Treatment of clothing, camping and outdoor gear

Permethrin has been used in the treatment of mosquito nets and clothing to protect against malaria and tick bite fever since its introduction onto the commercial market, with favourable safety profiles.

Skabi-Rid is an emulsifiable lotion that can be diluted 1:10 with water to create a 0,5% water based permethrin emulsion suitable for treating clothing, nets, and camping equipment.

How to soak

• Treat outerwear only, not underwear.
• Pour 100ml of Skabi-Rid into one litre of water in a bucket and stir until well mixed.
• Fully submerge items in the mixture.
• Air dry before wearing.
• Protection lasts approximately two weeks.

The solution can alternatively be applied via spray bottle until garments are damp, then air-dried.
