    I buy the Martins 10% and mix my own permethrin to match the Sawyers pre-mix ratio. Sprayed my gear(including hammock and bug net) and hung it to dry in my shop. So far so good in my experience.

    Note to self: Do NOT leave your camp light on with the net down prior to going to bed. LOL! You'll have to battle the monsters inside your net for a few.

    Another way of keeping bugs off your back is simply using an UQP. It's loose enough under you to keep the bugs away.

    Careful application of Permethrin will keep the bugs (ants and spiders etc) however I never found it to keep them off immediately.
    Takes a couple seconds to work which might be after they stick/bite you.
    Once it's on your hammock and dried it's not going to bugbomb everything so just be careful how you apply it and it works well.
