Bringing this back to the top....was out yesterday and got covered in ticks. Had to pull a few ticks off the wife and kid as well and they barely got out of the truck. Where is the best place to pick up permethrin now. We haven't got 1 stand hung on the new place yet, just now getting out cameras and feeders. I might need a few quarts of the stuff.

Go to a feed store and buy the concentrated Permetherin 10%. It's about $10 or so. You can mix it in a spray bottle and it lasts forever. Beats paying close to $10 on an aresol can that will only do 2 sets of clothes. I did this last year and didn't a single problem.

Sounds to me like you may have fell for the trick, while in the infantry! HAHA! I was in the military for more than 12 years, so i know the drill.

I use OFF with deet and it seems to work pretty well. Not sure I'll be trading my OFF spray for panty hose.... this sounds like an effort to trick a bunch of Florida Crackers into putting panty hose on before we go into the swamp! HAHA!

Just having fun with you. I'm sure it works.

Just curious, what color panty hose are you wearing right now?

I helped a buddy move his trailer at his lease this weekend. Same conversation. I swear by permanone. Spray it on your boots, pants, gear or whatever. I believe it helps with both ticks and chiggers.

Tractor supply has it. It's usually in the section where the horse stall supplies are at
