I know Shoofly very well, but it's not the same!!!
Permethrins have different isomerisations ( excuse spelling), ie where the different atoms fit on the chain to each other. it can be a 25:75 or 50:50 or 75:25 isomerisation , all three are Permethrin, but all three have different effects, toxicty and even products life and some even smell different. You need to be looking for something that has no other DEET or Cypermethrin etc.. in it and has a Permethrin with a 75:25 ratio an around 3~4 grams per litre max for human contact. They say a good thing is hard to copy....
Bayer have a simular product but for some reason does not worl as well.
I would spray the BioKill on me and my tripod when viewing, found spraying the tripod, stopped mozzies hanging around the scope and spiders crawling up the legs
nothing like six legs suddenly appearing in the view finder
ps, the good products are nirmaly in several countries and will have food and beverage approval in the USA (EPA class 4 ) and Europe

also check for a website on products. Safe ones will have data on the Toxic Effects and Dangers
you looking for something as safe as this, to use on yourself... otherwise
