I’m traveling by bicycle through Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia (currently in Warsaw, Poland) and camping a lot. I want to buy a product that can repel ticks.. that can be applied to tents, sleeping bags, shoes, socks and clothing.
Something like Permethrin (see link)
https://www.sawyer.com/products/permethrin-fabric-treatment but I think this specific chemical is not approved for use in the EU.
Are there specific stores/locations I could go to buy something? I will be crossing the Poland/Lithuania border and heading towards Kaunas..

it’s for skin use, but I guess you could use it on whatever
But don’t put it on clothes or textiles, it will ruin them. Only on skin and wash your hands.
Try Getbex on Kalvarijų street
Biokill from pet stores, we use it on everything.
