If you have seed ticks on your legs now take duct tape or masking tape and make a loop and start sticking it to your leg...and pulling it off....start at ankles and work your way up...back of knees, ankles and around waste band....not a pleasant process but I'd you do it enough refreshing tape often ...it will take allot of them off.....and in the future you gotta spray down with permethrin....good luck buddy.

Good quality duct tape won't leave them behind. This is a good route to go. Followed by shaving in case you've missed any.

And the longer you wait, they will bury up and become much harder to get rid of. I had one a few weeks back in my armpit and it was buried the next morning. Had a swelled spot for 3 weeks

If rather shave my legs than put myself through that much pain

It's not that painful.... seriously..... nowhere near as bad of being eat up for days scratching and itching..... at least do it around ankles and back of knees....then look at tape and you'll see how many your getting off....it works.

I buy the Sawyers Brand from Academy it works great. You can also get permethrin and do a mixture on your own. If you want to go for .5% permtherin, mix 20 ounces of water with 1 ounce of permethrin. If you want to do a .625% permethrin spray mix 15 ounces of water with 1 ounce of permethrin. This is using a permethrin that is 10% concentrate.

I add a little bleach to a few inches of bathwater and stand in the tub, sponging the areas as needed. That kills em pretty quickly.

I've heard that gorilla tape works good.

Just remember. You don't want Lyme disease nor Rocky Mountain spotted fever. It's best to be addressed promptly.

I bathe in dog shampoo when that happens. Works.

Well after taking y'all's advice both legs. The song I think of right now is… " man, I feel like a woman"

Ticks

I’ve noticed an increase in ticks around my home and up on my hunting spots this year. Anyone else notice this?? Found this online published 4 days ago. A mild winter is likely the culprit of a higher tick population this year. Ticks tend to thrive in warm environments. High humidity and...

You should probably find you a "day spa", go in and tell them you need something called a "Brazilian". That should fix you right up...

Get some turpentine and sponge from your navel down, thank me later.

I've heard she is...

Oh trust me she is. I'm gonna shut up now

Rubbing alcohol rub down after a good close shave will help too

I have actually used gasoline before to get them off. Take a cloth and put gas on it. Rub legs vigorously until the rag needs another wetting of gas. Repeat until you are happy.

After all the above is completed, get a good quality flea and tick collar. Wear it around your neck for about a week to be sure you didn't miss any of them.

All jokes aside take a qtip and dab preparation h on chiggers may not kill them but stops itching

What everybody else said, plus stop wearing white into the woods.
