Does permithion have any odor or negative effects with regard to deer?

After it dries I've never detected an odor. Deer didn't seem to either. Great stuff! [up]

The product i have says its odorless, im assuming they mean to game and not just our sub-par senses

Thats a good point.

The US Army says that it does not evaporate (hence, the need for DEET) ... so, that must be pretty odorless. ??

What ever the case, I've used it for many years, and I hunt from the ground, or close to it.

to me it has a odor. i wash my clothes every saturday night, hang out to dry. they get sprayed when i hang them out saturday night. i can still smell it on mondays hunt. after four or five days the smell goes away.
just use plenty of scent be gone spray.

Permethrine is for clothes only, once dry it is odorless. It will stay effective for weeks if clothes are stored in a black plastic bag out of the sun. It says good threw 2 washings but I wouldn't chance it. Deet is for use on your skin, but not in the eyes,
