Question 1

I try to hunt as scent free as possible. Anyone use this on their scentlok clothing?

Accepted Answer

I use this product regularly in the warm months of the year. I am an avid coyote hunter and I have never been busted by the coyotes nose due to this product, that I'm aware of. 
Of course I descent and play the wind but this stuff seems to keep me scent free after it's allowed to dry.
Also, I've had zero issues with ticks, chiggers or mosquitoes on treated clothing. 
Great product!

Question 2

Does this protect against bed bugs?  Could I use it to spray over a sleeping bag that I will use for a month is hostels, to avoid bed bugs?

Accepted Answer

Hi, while i don't know to what extent an item like a sleeping bag laying for hours and hours will do, yes i can confirm it will help to protect it.  I haven't used it on a sleeping bag but I do spray all of my clothes and the suitcases for this reason.  They also advise not to put suitcases on beds in hotels to limit the exposure and to keep them off the floor on the bag stand that most hotels provide or on a desk or table. It will prevent against hitchhikers.  But as for a sleeping bag that has a large amount of exposure, but it should last at least 3 - 4 washes as well if you launder the sleeping bag while on the road. I definitely would recommend this spray, but again the best way to check for bed bugs is to inspect the mattress edges for the little buggers and see if you see any.  (also get the blacklight app for your smartphone for other things - just remember to turn your brightness all the way up when using it).  Happy travels.

Question 3

If i purchase 2, then i get prime shipping. but, does the product expire? i won't use two full canisters in a year.

Question 4

What about roaches? I'm a social worker who has to go into infested houses; will spraying this on my shoes keep roaches off of me?

Accepted Answer

I have had great luck with this product. The permetherine is the key to killing these pests. the same main pest killer in Frontline for dogs. Lasts well in the field.
