Product Information

Full details

Gardner Moz-Stop Fabric Spray is an essential solution for outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and anglers who need reliable protection against biting insects like mosquitoes, midges, and ticks. Utilizing Permapel RTU technology—the same formulation trusted by the British Army—this spray provides a durable, long-lasting barrier for gear and apparel; however, users must strictly adhere to drying times and avoid direct application to pets or skin due to its potent chemical composition.

FAQs

Can I spray this directly onto my skin?

No. Gardner Moz-Stop is strictly a fabric treatment and should never be applied directly to skin or clothing while it is being worn.

Is it safe to use around my dog?

No. The active ingredient, permethrin, is toxic to many animals. Ensure pets are kept away from the treated area until the spray is completely dry.

How do I know if I've applied enough?

The fabric should be treated until it is evenly damp. Do not soak the fabric to the point of dripping.

Does this expire?

While the shelf life is stable, it is best practice to store the bottle in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the potency of the active ingredients.

Can I use this on delicate fabrics like silk?

It is not recommended for delicate materials. Use only on durable outdoor equipment, canvas, polyester, or heavy-duty cotton.

Do I need to wash my clothes after applying?

No. Once the fabric has fully dried for at least 2 hours, it is ready for use. You do not need to rinse it.

Troubleshooting

Spray leaves a residue on light-colored fabric

Perform a spot test on an inconspicuous area first; while generally clear, some porous synthetic fabrics may hold the moisture longer.

Insects are still present shortly after application

Ensure the fabric was thoroughly wetted and allowed to dry for the full 2 hours; the repellent needs time to bond to effectively deter insects.

Protection seems to have worn off sooner than 2 weeks

Check if the item has been subjected to heavy rain or high humidity; physical abrasion or excessive water exposure will require a fresh application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Trusted military-grade formulation
  • Provides multi-week protection per application
  • Effective against a broad spectrum of biting insects
  • Highly versatile for both gear surfaces and fabric dipping

Cons

  • Requires significant drying time of at least 2 hours
  • Not suitable for direct application to skin or animals
  • Requires re-application after heavy rain or machine washing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve optimal results, treat your gear in a dry, well-ventilated space. If applying to clothing, spray the fabric until it is visibly damp but not saturated, then allow a minimum of 2 hours for the solution to bond with the fibers.

  • Compatibility: Safe for most synthetic and natural tent materials, bivvy fabrics, and rugged outdoor luggage.
  • Maintenance: Avoid retreating items more frequently than every 2 weeks to prevent buildup.
  • Post-Wash Care: Always re-apply the spray after any item has been laundered or exposed to heavy, persistent rainfall, as these actions will diminish the protective barrier.
  • Safety Warning: Keep out of reach of children and do not use on or near animals, as the permethrin content is toxic to many pets.
