Ticks even in my underwear.
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.

Re: Ticks even in my underwear.
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.

Re: Ticks even in my underwear.
Permethrin all the way. Pick up a bottle of sawyers and treat your clothes. You wont be disappointed!
