[QUOTE="flyinpro, post: 5145564, member: 13442"] I’m not familiar with Sawyers but I make my own spray that seems to work pretty well. I mix 50% Permethrin and 50% liquid deep woods off with 40% DEET. Permethrin will kill them & Deet helps at repelling the ticks. I read a few articles that said Permethrin is a direct-contact insecticide, and DEET being a repellent that temporarily blocks the neuron receptors that detect CO2/heat. a tick can detect the carbon dioxide you exhale with each breath and the ammonia in your sweat. Ticks have a outstanding sense of smell and movement alerts them a blood-meal is near. I avoid any use on my skin with my recipe but my outer layers of shirt, pants and high snake type boots are saturated for several days in zip locks & I spray again once dressed and head into the woods. I hate and am concerned about ticks. [/QUOTE]
