Creative tic prevention.

Kenny, do yourself a huge favor and get some Sawyers Permethrin tick spray. It is not to spray on your skin but on your clothing. Hang the cloths you will be using outdoors and spry them liberally with it. Let it dry for 24 hours and then you can wear them. I have been using it religiously for 25 years on my spring and fall hunting cloths and have never seen a tick on me, even on days that I picked many ticks off my Lews face. It is absolutely incredible. It lasts for six washings, but I respray after four.

Been using Sawyers for years. Great stuff but not meant for dogs.

Thanks for the tip, Kenny. We’ll give it a try.

I agree on using Sawyers. Been using it for years on my pants. Ticks have been terrible here in SC this spring and early summer. I also spray my boots. Was not spraying my shirt- that was a mistake. Got a bite about 5 weeks ago on my hand of all places. Was attached but couldn't have been on me for more than a few hours. Ended up on an antibiotic for 10 days. So now I'm spraying my shirt also.
