I have been trying to purchase Permethrin spray to treat our sleeping bags and some clothing. I have tried pharmacies, supermarkets, hardware stores and camping stores but none of them in my stock it. Does anyone know if I can buy some on the Camino if I need it? We will be walking late October through to the end of November, so are bed bugs still a problem in the colder months? I've never experienced bed bug problems before so any advice would be appreciated.
Gitti,I think the French spray is called something like clacopunaise
They also market the Equip product, Debugger. I always smile when I think about an Australian company using a name like that!I bought mine (a soaker) from the website - Dr. Deb The Travel Doctor - www.thetraveldoctor.com.au/. I soaked my sleep liner and pj's - not one bite so maybe it works really well.
This wasn't coming up in their on-line store when I looked. You might need to contact the company by phone to see if they have it in stock.Just seen this for Aussies.. they sell the spray

You may get all need, at least in the U.S., on Amazon: ermethrin spray&tag=camiforu-20
Really. Amazon Australia has no physical distribution network - they distribute e-books and apps only. Other Amazon businesses distribute to Australia, and you might have looked at one of these. However, if you are in Australia and try ordering this product from the either the US or UK Amazon sites, they will quite clearly state that Amazon does not ship this product to Australia. It is not the only product that I have found with restrictions of this nature, and the issue is probably not visible if you are doing this research from another country. Some local knowledge is useful hereJust tried ordering myself.....no stock.
went onto Amazon-Australia......
They have it In stock and in the same format trigger spray along with aerosol.
Believe me, it can be very frustrating to find something is available elsewhere in the world and because the company that has the marketing rights here doesn't carry that particular item, it cannot be obtained from a distributor in another country.Marvellous

I found this out years ago when I was looking for replacements for a set of worn out Leki walking pole tips, and the Australian importer had stopped carrying the walking foot version. The NZ importer was carrying them, but was not permitted to send them to an Australian address.
My wife maintains a US postal address so she is not stymied by this if she is shopping online on a US site. It's worthwhile if you are a regular shopper, but would be cumbersome for a single purchase.

I am not sure how to reconcile the principles of Christian piligrimage which motivate this forum with providing advice on how to 'circumvent', otherwise 'break', the law.You cana get it from Amazon US. I live in Norway. I can circumvent the customs often by sending to a private person in the US first and then sending it privately to me. My package would include multiple things as a gift and the item in question often gets lost/overlooked among the other things.
Just seen this for Aussies.. they sell the spray
Or go to Bunnings and by Ant, Spider and cockroach killer for $9.95 and make it up yourself in a sprayer. No need to deal with the postal system and just as effective. Buen Camino.

Thank you! I will try to contact some storesHiking stores usually sell it. Here it is sold as a solution into which you soak the item you want to treat.
