Permethrin is completely different from regular bug repellents. For one thing, you apply permethrin to your clothing and gear, not to your skin. And unlike other sprays, permethrin is an insecticide, so it can actually kill ticks instead of just shooing them away. Our experts consider it a must-have for outdoors season. Below, we’ll walk you through a few more Wirecutter recommendations for heading outside—including a few on-sale favorites.
