Note, you can buy cans of permethrin based spray for your clothing at places like Runnings. I picked some up last week. About $7-9 a can, depending on the brand.
if your serious about the outdoors this time of year during our booming tick season forget about deep woods off or like product here in Mn off is like an appetizer for these worthless critters,as stated above perm is our solution,and agreed so far a horrible tick spring.
My son and I used Permethrin for the first time this spring turkey hunting. Treated both sets of clothes a few days before we went. Worked like a charm. I think I had 3 on me total (used much less than on my son's clothes). My son didn't have any.
