Ticks even in my underwear.

Unread postby scarecow » Tue May 07, 2019 3:20 am

I have been turkey hunting and after a 5 hour sit in the woods on public land i appeared to have gained 2 travelers...2 illegal tick travelers that i do not desire.

How do my fellow hunters stop ticks from biting or hanging on them?

thanks,
S

I spray my pant legs and waist with 40% deet. That seems to do a decent job.

Sawyers does really well but I think you can get it from co-ops for cheaper. I also use repel tick spray if I am in a blind. I spray the ground and inside the blind. It’s done well for me.

I don't like to use chemicals. Been wearing this stuff for nearly 20 years. Never been but by a tick wearing it, it works! I hunt in areas that are loaded with ticks.

Permethrin, I try to put it on the garment 3 days prior to hitting the woods, air dry outside. I think they say it is good for up to 2 weeks or 3 washes as well. Also, if you have cats it is highly toxic to them so do it in an area they will not encounter it.

Permethrin all the way. Pick up a bottle of sawyers and treat your clothes. You wont be disappointed!
