That is exactly what kept me off the hiking trails last year! I hate them things but really miss the trails.My wife and I just got back from a half hour walk in the woods (no mushrooms yet in our favorite spot), and between us, we had 51 ticks crawling on our legs! There were dog ticks, lone star ticks, and deer ticks. It looks like this is going to be a really bad year for them. Correction, 52, just found another little bugger.
Thanks, I googled this stuff and it is indeed a repellent, it is available everywhere and the reviews are all 100%. Amazon has spray cans for 7 dollars so I am going to give it a try....thanks again!Don't remember the name of it and too lazy to get up and look at it but I've found something with a name like duranon to work really well. It isn't a repellent, it is an insecticide. You spray it on your clothes, not your skin, the ticks get on your clothes, they get the duranon (or what ever it is) on them and die.

I worked for a utility that used permethrin and it is great for ticks. Meant for clothing only, cannot be applied to skin
Uuugghhhh that gives me the willies!
No problem, just be sure to follow the instructions on the can.
Yep, good stuff. That is the active ingredient in Duranon.
I want to know more about permethrin. Do you broadcast spray it in the area or do you use it on your clothes/pets as a repellent? I saw a tick last weekend. While it cannot compete with 52, it was too many.
