Permethrin available in Ecuador

Hey all--

This post isn't specific to Ecuador per se, but Ecuador is the place this issue is likely to come up for me.

I plan on treating my clothing and mosquito net/sleep bag with permethrin before I depart, but I will be traveling for 4-6 months, well beyond the advertised lifetime of one permethrin treatment. I want to think that I won't have to carry around several bottles of the stuff in my pack throughout the trip!

Can anyone tell me if I will be able to purchase permethrin as I need it in Ecuador, or the surrounding area?

Thanks! =)

Unless you plan to travel to some particularly mosquito-infested areas? Poor but snappy 0 funny, 0 helpful.
