Dean, here is how to solve the tick problem once and forever. Go to Dicks or EMS and purchase a couple cans of "permethrin". The brand I use is made by Sawyer. Take your cloths outside and spray your hat, coat, shirt, and pants liberally with it. Let it dry outside for six to eight hours and you will be good to go. It lasts up to six washings. It repels and kills ticks, chiggers and mosquitoes. I began using this about five years ago first while turkey hunting in the spring and have never had a tick on me ever since. It is not for direct use on the skin, just your clothing and gear. The stuff is amazing. You still need to spray your neck with a good insect repellant and tuck your pants into your boots, but that is about it.
