Uhhhhh like the instructions said. I think 1 oz per item. And then a picaridin lotion on the lower legs. Kinda like a condom I suppose. Not 100% effective 😂🤣😂🤣

Were ya wearing boots? If so did you tuck you pant legs in your boots? Only way that’s almost fool proof from em getting too your satchel....
I haven’t had one tic since spraying down with this stuff...

Nope wasn't wearing boots. The only issue with doing that is you will have em in your hair, and you don't want the ones you can hardly see in your head. This spring wasn't too bad at all if you were wearing treated clothes. They're just bad in my area right now due to new hatches. You walk through a ball of em and they don't really care what you're wearing.

It’s that time of year again. Text with Jesse this morning got me thinking about treating my clothes. For sure you folks taking kids out next weekend need to take this step!

Good reminder Dave....Here’s my go to and haven’t had a tick on me since using it.
Hat, gloves, shirt/jacket pants, boots and tuck your pants legs into your boots before heading out....

since I've started soaking my clothes in permethrin, I barely have an insect on me in the woods all summer long. well, Shellback spiders are a never ending source of aggravation when hunting mushrooms in June, July and August. I get more ticks in December and January than in warm weather, although I didn't see many this long, cold, wet-ass winter.

So I was good enough to warn everyone and not listen to my own reminder. Yesterday I pulled one off my arm that had its head buried. I still have a red mark/bump but no circle. Treat yourselves!!!

They're getting bad early this year. Found one on the dog a month and a half ago. Started seeing them on myself a few weeks ago. Chiggers will be here soon :(

Just got home from work. So my wife tells me our son was in our room laying on our bed watching TV and goes nuts and swears a spider bit his ear and he grabbed and threw it. She looked him over and found nothing. We just come in our room, and fuck my life, a tick is on my pillow. I don't get bothered by them really. They don't eat much. But fuck, I'm gonna be buggy as fuck tonight

I felt something crawling on my arm last night in bed so I get up and go to the kitchen and turn on the light and find a tick. Fuck I have a hard enough time sleeping so I layed back down wide awake for a hour or so.

Keep an eye on the bites you get . My dad was just diagnosed with Lyme disease from tick bite in early May . He had the textbook "bullseye " mark develope last week along with a spreading rash .
He went to the doctor and is on doxycyline for 21 days . Luckily he was observant and saw the signs early . It will be easier to knock it back .
