it works, a couple of my buddys learned about it in the army. when I was in boot camp they had us buy knee hi stockings to wear until our boots were broke in. NO BLISTERS.
clear spray paint last about a week no chiggers!!!
HUMMMMM.......
Permanone
I hate those things. Have you guys ever tried this?
*********
I was in the pest control business for several years. There are two chemicals that are quite effective for protection from ticks, chiggers, fleas, and mosquitoes. One is permethrin, the ingredient in Permanone, the other is Fipronil, most comonly found in Frontline for pets. Fipronil can not be purchased OTC, for, rightfully so, it is still a restricted use pesticide. If you know a bug guy real well, ask him for some Termidor. If you are fortunate enough to score some, mix 0.8oz per gallon and spray your clothing. I hang mine up and use my bug sprayer. Once dry, wash it in your favorite no scent soap. It will last for 20-30 washings. Ask me how I know? Neither of these chemicals is harmful to humans under proper useage. No, do not drink it for kicks, but do not worry at all if you get some on your skin.
The easier and more affordable way to go is check out the bug stuff at your local Home Depot. Look for a concentrate that has Permethrin as the active ingredient. Use about a 1oz per gallon mix and spray clothing the same as above. This gives you the active ingredient in Permanone at a substantial savings per application.
