Do you guys spray your hammocks? I assume it is OK on the material.

I spray mine, along with my bug net and the underside of my tarp.

The hammock, uq and tarp all get a treatment. It is so nice not to have them buzzing up under the tarp!

Does it irritate your skin at all? I haven't used it before. If it changes how the fabric feels on your skin at all it'd be hard to justify.

Once it dries you'll never know it was there Vader. I spray my hammock and it's bug net. Never done the tarp.

well, i am opposite of you hangers, never sprayed a drop, never had an issue, although i always canoe trip in low bug times.

I sprayed my fly but not my hammock.

Like Rain gear Right said - Once it dries - you can not tell. I do clothes, hammocks and just about anything if we are going on big bug season!

I've dipped hammocks and bugnets before with no problem. Even my straps as I imagined ticks and bugs walking down from the tree to the hammock- probably overkill there!
I do think there is some mass-effect with permethrin- the more treated objects in a campsite the less dense the cloud of insects will be. I try to dip or spray just about every soft good.

Tarps are silicone material, so any liquid beads and doesn't stick.

I spray everything that it could possibly stick to. Let it dry and there isn't an issue with skin contact.
