Tick counter measures for hunters

[kick them up]

Well this warm winter the insect population will heavy. With that in mind I thought I would post this recipe for homemade Permethrin Spray for your gear and clothes ONLY! This is not to be used on your skin or dogs. This is the same product as the Sawyer Product but much cheaper. I turkey hunt ALOT and can say this formula works great. I have had one tick on me in 3 years

1oz of 10% permethrin ( found at farm and garden centers)
15 oz of H2O ( water)

Mix in a spray bottle then spray clothes/ boots/ gear. Let them air dry and you are good to go. One application is good for about 2 weeks and you can wash your clothes too

Good Luck

Kick them up!
