It is upon us. I encourage all of our members to protect yourself as much as possible when in the woods. Nasty little buggers.
This ^^^^Spray your clothing with permethrin.
That's a Jumbo version of the ones that I've been seeing in the past few years! I don't remember seeing ticks that little when I was growing up in the 70s-80s! My boss contracted Lime disease from a tick last year! He completely recovered from it but took a while! I get a granular powder from Walmart and spread it around my house and yard! It really seems to help with the critters!Traveling home from work today and this guy was casually walking up my pants...

The rubber bands are a smart idea. I do the same.I use a large rubber band around my pant legs at boot level, so far none have gotten in. They are nasty for sure!
Reminds me of a Brad Paisley song...lol

To add is it scent free? Probably not..Gotta try it. Where can I get it?
Its not the smell of the DEET that i hate, it’s the taste.I have the blood type that mosquitoes and ticks love, and if they're nearby, they'll swarm me. I work outside, and I've tried out pretty much every bug spray on the market and found the Avon Bug Guard Plus with IR3535 to be the hands down winner. It lasts the longest, even when wet or sweaty, and it keeps pretty much every creepy crawley off of my skin. It also doesn't smell nearly as bad as DEET.
The Avon tastes just as bad, but it comes in a spray bottle, rather than an aerosol can, so it doesn't seem to end up in my mouth as much.Its not the smell of the DEET that i hate, it’s the taste.
