Who on here was talking about Deet??? Deet is a completely different chemical that you put on your skin. Permethrine goes on your clothes and kills them on contact. As a backup you can put deet on your skin but your right deet does not do a good job on ticks! But again no one is talking about deet!

RE: Ticks
I simply said DEET did and does nothing to ticks whare I am. I understand completely that it is a different chemical and that is why I am asking Q's. I don't put deet on my person for the most part as I have seen it strip paint off of almost everything out there. I was looking for a better product but was worriewd about scent and such.

RE: Ticks
You will be amazed at thedifferance between permethrin and deet. Properly treat your clothes, complete coverage. I have not had a live tick on me in years and like Isaid I am in the woods all the time. Was out this morning. I find them dead on my pants sometimes. It does have an initial smell butI do not smell it after it dries. Does not mean that animals won't smell it though.

Is there any scent to it????? Bears have a great nose and am worried they would smell it. 30 ticksa day is nothing!!!!!! The bear I shot had thousands I mean 1000's of ticks on it. When I hit the woods I wouldd have at least 100 ticks in a 4hr period. Today I tried a deet repellant when scouting and it did NOTHING to the ticks. If it works so good then I'm going to Wally world tommorrow.[8D]But to buy it by the quart

Use Permanone, but as noted keep it off your skin

RE: Ticks
With out a dought permonone is the way to go Just be careful if you get into anything wet, I once had it on my close and got to crawling through wet weeds to gain position on some turkeys. My pants got soaked and it reactivated the permonone giving me one bad rash on my thighs that lasted for a week [X(]

I am in the woods every weekend throughout the year. Permanone or Permethrine (permanone is really permethrin) is the ONLY repellant to be using! The cans are roughly $6(wally world sells them). the cans are 5% and do not last long. You must completely spray all of your clothes including socks, then you won't have any problems. If you can find them, there are military impregnation kits for treating cloths, the kits have two small bottles of 40% permethrin in them and a large green bag. NSN 6840-01-345-0237. Pour one of the bottles into a hand pump sprayer and add water then spray your clothes before going into woods.
Here's another secret for you all. The aerosol can you buy at walmarthas 5% permathrin and there is not much in the can. Go to the garden center and look at the termite/tick killer in the gray quart bottle, look at the ingredients! A whole quart of 5% permathrin for $14.00! Put in pump spraybottle and save yourself allot of money.
Also did you know that those expensive little vials you buy to put on your dogs back for fleas and ticks (K9 Advantix etc) contain 5% permathrin?

RE: Ticks
What do you all use to kill ticks around the house. I made an awfully big boo boo this yr as it was my first bear hunt and my son wanted to see the bear. I brought it home and skinned it in the garage. When I walked in the garage the day after the kill it looked like the bear was alive....... the hair was flowing with ticks. I would guess 3000-5000 easy. Neighbours aren't too pleased either but they don't complain as much as my wife as I educate their kids when game comes home. Really its a neighbourhood affair when I bring home game as all the kids come by to check it out.
But seriously how do I get rid of ticks in my garage or stop them from coming in the house. My wife says she is about to leave me[X(]

After I spray my clothes and they dry I run them through a scent free wash just to make sure they are scent free. It is supposed to be oderless after it dries but work to hard to geta shot to take any chances.

RE: Ticks
Go to Wally world in the garden center get the quart of termite/ant killer with 5% permethrin, mix 2 oz per gallon in a pump lawn sprayer. Mist spray the area. I spray my whole yard about every three weeks. keeps all the bugs away including fleas, chiggers etc. I even had bad mole problem a couple of years ago and they went away. Must have soaked into the ground and killed the grubs so the moles went elsewhere!
