I was initially unable to find my copy of the the Permethrin article, but
below are some sites.  While checking these pages I found the ABA Sales
Catalog entry which gives the reference to Dr. Mellor's article in
WINGING IT  Sept 1992 (I believe that must be an Americam Bird
Association publication).  The essence of the article is to spray 0.5%
Permethrin on clothes until damp and allow to dry.  They mention
Coulton's formula, which I was unable to identify.  I have used a 3.20%
product simply called Permethrin which is "Maunfactured for AGRA
LABORATORIED LTD, P.O. Box 3103 St. Joseph MO. 64503 USA." I dilute it to
0.5% and spray on all clothes.  The article claims that the material
bonds to the fabric of the cloth, is virtually non-toxic to humans, is
deactivated upon contact with the skin (and therefore must be used in
conjunction with DEET on exposed skin).  In tick experiments in
Massachusetts they got 100% protection against all three stages of the
deer tick and the same with the black legged tick in western U.S.  I buy
mine for $21.95 a quart (32 Fl Oz.) at a store called AnimalMedic and
need use only a few ounces diluted to spray all of my africa clothes.  I
also use the same stuff on my dogs, which love to run in the grass, and
find that I need to dip them every six weeks to keep the ticks off.

        The unanswered question is, "What will it do to the tranquility of the
bees if it is covering your clothes?"
