Rubbed on the human body, it serves as a deterrent to ticks and chiggers. Of course, you smell like rotten eggs.

I'm dealing with depluming mites right now. I'm debating about getting sulfer powder vs. spray.

I've read in other places that powders don't work against this type of mite, but this says you can rub in this powder to treat it. Is sulfer different from permethrin in this way?

I've also read that sulfer doesn't dissolve in water. But this indicates that you can turn powder into a spray, probably with repeated shaking?
