my one search in bismarck last week yielded zero as well

You need to get covered with ticks to find them!

^^^^I'm still having night terrors after turkey hunting this spring......^^^^

 

[guywhofishes]

I’m no longer bothered by them, not even a little bit. I can pull a dozen off on the way home and it doesn’t even register.

The deer ticks and their diseases don’t thrill me of course, but they’re pretty infrequent compared to dog ticks.

i've removed at least 100 from me and the dogs already this year. the "tick jar" with rubbing alcohol for disposal is gross.

Permethrin is a turkey hunter/forager friend. Used it some last year on some work clothes and hunting pants and socks and it really helped, should really do that again as I keep finding ticks. Follow instructions on spray bottle. Picked mine up at scheels but Amazon works too

This stuff does work. A few years ago I had a work project in the deep woods of Maine and I treated my pants and boots. I only found a couple but the other guys who didn't use it were covered with them.

They told us in the Farce to be very careful with that stuff. Seems it's a carcinogen.

I see in the above article you can buy them on Amazon. Has anyone bought or tried any of them from there?

They are probably from China . A couple people have died recently in MT from bad morels from somewhere over seas. Serious sicknesses too

Everything is a carcinogen. Even goretex! Pick your poison, carcinogens or Lyme disease

To make a .5% active ingredient spray using a quart (32 fl oz) of concentrate with 36.8% of the active ingredient, you can mix it with water to create a solution. The calculation is as follows:

1. Determine the amount of active ingredient in the concentrate:
   • 36.8% of 32 fl oz = 0.368 * 32 fl oz = 11.776 fl oz of active ingredient
2. Calculate the amount of water needed to dilute the concentrate to a .5% solution:
   • For a .5% solution, the total amount of active ingredient in the final mixture should be 0.5% of the total volume. Let's call the total volume of the final mixture "V".
   • The equation to find the total volume "V" is: 0.005 * V = 11.776 fl oz
   • Solving for "V": V = 11.776 fl oz / 0.005 = 2355.2 fl oz
3. Determine the number of gallons of .5% active ingredient spray:
   • Since 1 gallon = 128 fl oz, the total volume in gallons is: 2355.2 fl oz / 128 fl oz/gallon = 18.38671875 gallons
   • Therefore, you can make approximately 18.39 gallons of .5% active ingredient spray using a quart of concentrate with 36.8% of the active ingredient in it.

To find the cost of 18.39 gallons of spray, we first need to convert the volume from gallons to fluid ounces, as the cost is given in terms of fluid ounces. There are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon, so 18.39 gallons is equivalent to:

18.39 gallons * 128 fluid ounces/gallon = 2354.72 fluid ounces

Now, we know that 24 fluid ounces of spray costs $17.50. To find the cost of 2354.72 fluid ounces, we can set up a proportion:

24 fluid ounces / $17.50 = 2354.72 fluid ounces / x

Where x is the cost of 2354.72 fluid ounces of spray. Solving for x gives:

x = (2354.72 fluid ounces * $17.50) / 24 fluid ounces x = $17.50 * 98.11333... x = $1718.57

Therefore, 18.39 gallons of the same spray would cost approximately $1718.57.

To make a .5% concentrate spray from a 36.8% concentrate, you would need to dilute it with water. For a gallon (128 fluid ounces) of water, you would need to add approximately 0.43 fl oz of the 36.8% concentrate. This will result in a .5% concentration of the active ingredient in the final solution.

.43 fluid ounces is approximately 12.72 milliliters (ml).

1 milliliter = 1 gram of water = 1cm^3

I smell a potential GROUP BUY opportunity in the works!!!

There is a company called Gamehide that sells "Elimitick" clothing that has Permethrin imbedded in the material....supposed to last for 70 washings!

I use permethrin on my boots/shoes and the lower half of my blue jeans. That's enough coverage to significantly reduce the tick problem while walking through the prairie grass around my place.

Some years the ticks are very plentiful at my place. I have literally seen the little buggers crawling up the leg of my jeans on the treated pants, by the time they get to my knee they are in serious distress and soon fall away.

Note, while I too can calculate the proper mix/dilution formulas, I think I spent about $7 on the last bottle of permethrin intended for clothes at my local Walmart. That was about 3 years ago and I still have half of it left. Choose your battles wisely.

I already have it for use on my fruit trees bushes, so might as well mix my own spray... That sawyer stuff does have a nicer bottle than I use tho, I have bottle envy!

 

[espringers]

yes. its thought to be mildly carcinogenic. meh, beer probably is too. but, its not meant to be applied to your skin. outside of clothing. i use it for black fly and tick situations.

Couple years ago FDA had all permethrim pulled from retail shelves as it was deemed a major health issue,later that summer back on shelves in my area not sure if this was a national recall? Don't use the stuff but it's highly recommended as ticks drink "deet" which is absolutely useless for ticks.
