Ticks and more ticks

So I went to the deer camp last weekend to set up my trail cameras. Normally I go in early April and ticks aren’t usually out yet, however since everything is greening up I knew that I would run into them.

On my way to camp, I purchased a bottle of Ultra Shield spray and some coveralls. I gave the coveralls a good misting and let them dry before heading out. The next day, I walked through an over-grown field and noticed 4 or 6 of the buggers climbing up my legs. I was very surprised to see this as many on the forum reported great success using Ultra Shield spray. Maybe I didn’t spray enough on. Comments, advice?

Sam-Not sure about Ultra Shield,but when i used in the past Sawyer Permethrin 0.5%-it was clearly recommended ,to almost spray the clothing "wet" .Then air dry before use.
