I would like to buy some permethrin to spray on my Sleeping Bag/ Liner.
I have previously bought LifeSystems https://tinyurl.com/2frfrty8 which as I did not get bitten by mosquitoes, maybe worked, but it is expensive.
I have seen this https://tinyurl.com/yc7aba7f which is cheaper by volume.
Has anyone any comments on these or have any other suggestions please.
As said in subject line I am UK based,

I actually just got one of these - it arrived in 2 days from Amazon. I've given my backpack a thorough spray, and it's now drying outside. No obvious problems. The bottle has a screw cap, and comes with a spray nozzle that you switch to for using it, then you can screw cap it properly for storage - useful, because I can't imagine I'll need it again for another year.
