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.
 
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.
 
just found a brand new bottle of Repel 100% DEET on the fridge i had forgotten about,i have always had good luck with this,mike243
 
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.

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.

Amen! preach on brother!
 
Just got back in from 4 days in the woods and reduced my tic count from 12 to 2. with permethrine spray from the co-op. Its funny how I can be fishing and everyone is getting hammered by misquitos but nothing bothers me. Get in the woods and its a hole different story.
 
Radar, do you use this stuff while hunting during early season?

is there a scent to it?

not radar, but i use it religiously during early season as that's when the ticks are the worst. there is a faint odor when wet but the deer don't seem to notice.
 
I picked up some spray at Academy that has 40% DEET. The 1st time we went to our lease once summer got here I did not use anything. In less than 20 minutes I knocked at least 30 ticks of me. The next time we went I covered myself from head to toe in the 40$ DEET stuff and did not have a single tick on me and we were there for about 2 hours.
 
Chief, just spray the Permanone on your clothes a day or two before you go in the woods. That should give it plenty of time to dry. I use it when I go scouting/hunting the early season.
