Tick Control

[higgy]

Looking forward to 2nd week of rifle in 62...Whats everyone using for tick control?

Been using UltraShield for years…never picked up any ticks!

permirthrin if you can find it.

I’m surprised that ticks are out that late in the fall. There’s lots around Rainy River in the spring and summer, but I’ve never seen them come deer season.

It's not that all hard to find. Canadian Tire, Amazon and any horse supply/tack store should have it.

yeah, I use those in the summer months, but they are all scented. For hunting I stick with Sawyers from the US as it doesn't smell

Lots out during deer season. I has a bad run in with them last year. Picked up two bites last weekend. I use permetherin spray on my pants. I'm guessing in the wet (very wet) conditions, it gets washed off quickly.

That's what I use - available on amazon.ca.

I checked the Amazon products, and they all seem o list a 0.35% permethrin content.
The Ultra Shield spray I use is 1%
And yes it does have a citronella scent, but I spray all my clothes & gear outside, then leave them out in the sun for a few hours to dissipate the citronella odour…never had a problem with it afterward for hunting.

I seem to be fine as long as I stay out of the long weeds or brush. Where I hunt the grass is cut right up to the bush and the trail to the back is cut as well once or twice a summer so it never gets to long, but having said that the dog got 2 on her while tracking the buck I shot this year. I saw one on her forehead and found one dead on her the next morning. So they are around.
