Dealing with Ticks Go to your local garden or home improvement store. Look at the bottles of liquid insect killer for one containing Permethrin. I used Spectricide's Bug Stop. 32 ounces of a pre-mixed solution cost me about $10. Mix this according to application instructions and place inside of a spray bottle. Spray bottles can be found at drug or craft stores. Spray clothing thouroughly and let dry. Each application is good for two weeks. http://www.bugspray.net/catalog/products/page15.html Permethrin is a concentrate which can be used for certain types of pest control. It also works well at keeping ticks and chiggers off people, livestock and pets. Simply mix it up as needed and apply it to your clothes or to the pets fur. Permethrin should be applied any day you intend on going afield. Pets can be treated weekly. Because you are buying it in concentrate form, it is economical to use when compared to Petcor. Permethrin is odorless when applied to clothing and is great for outdoorsmen whether you are hiking, fishing, hunting or simply working in the garden. Use a quart trigger sprayer or a Pump Sprayer like ours listed above to treat.
