Tick Repellant

[Drop 4/5]

Any magical fire water you can drink or bathe in to keep these little rascals off of you.

 

[Diehard Hunter]

Drink enough alcohol and you won't worry about them.

if you don't want to do that, use Permanone or Duranon on your clothes.

deet is worthless for ticks. permethrin is the ONLY thing i have found that works.

 

[stik]

really?

I have never had a tick problem with deet stuff.

i have scars from seed tick infestations when using deet.

Ditto

 

[stik]

and another thing, the permethrin not only repels ticks, it kills em dead on contact!

tractor supply, co-op - it is also sold at most sporting goods stores under the duranon or permanone brand.

Please note , Permenone can only be sprayed on clothing , not the skin . It will make you very sick .
I coat my clothes with it a day before I'm going to be out in the woods . It has to be dry before it is effective .

Is Permethrin a spray, liquid, lotion etc. and where can it be purchased. Is it applied to skin or clothing.

Thanks Ron

Thanks for the link Radar. Our Wal Mart quit carrying this a long time ago. I have never had a problem with bugs while using this product. Just ordered two cans.

It might be a smart idea, after your safari to soak in a tube of hot water that you have added bleach to, this will take care of any difficult critters left on you. Works for me.

My grandfather, he used to keep coal oil (kerosene) handy in a pump sprayer for bush work.

That stuff now scares me...lol

It might just save you from getting lymes disease . I don't know any serious hunter that doesn't use it .

We always sprayed the boys clothes before we packed them for scout camp. They never got ticks. Spray under wear and all...especially socks. Spray it, let it dry and pack it up.
