Surplus Military Bdu’s
Is BDU/ACU pretreated with repellent/insecticide?
I recently bought some BDU’s at a ranger surplus store, as a costume I am using for a movie project. Since I am filming in a wooded area, I am at risk of being bitten by a tick and contracting some tick-borne disease. I would like to know if military uniforms are pretreated with something like permethrin during the manufacturing process, or if repellents have to be applied by yourself. I have read that some BDU’s are pretreated permethrin applied, but are all like this? What about ACU?
Thanks guys.
BDU/ACU are not pretreated with insect repellent. There is a spray you spray your uniforms with and hang them to dry that treats them and they will be treated for about 5-6 washes, but not forever.
