This was my first year using Sawyers, and I just cant get over how well it works. I sprayed ALL my gear, vest, boots, and even treated my back pack too, last year I was imbedded with ticks, this year, none !! It has on the bottle, to use on sporting equipment, tents and even "bag chairs". I even noticed that by spraying the underside of my hats' bill, the gnats wont even "dive bomb " your eyes. wonderful stuff !! The cost wasn't bad either, probably cheaper in the longrun, compared to buying cans and cans of the "other" stuff, that never works.
