David thanks!, I know how you PD dog handlers love your dogs, When I was doing Highway interdiction, I needed guys like you every day:thumbsup: I haven't heard of Duranon, but will look it up. One of the K9 guy's I used quite a bit used 1 drop of Ivermectin for his Weimaraner (sp) every few months.

I did a quick google only found the clothing treatment used that when tracking very good stuff, but always would spray on clothing before putting it on and let it dry before use. Had a jump suit in the trunk. Good for hunters and hikers clothing.

I only use it to spray on clothes. I saw some Permethrin at the farm store a few years ago and I assumed for some reason it was for use with horses. I poured the Permethrin in a bucket, then soaked my work clothes in the chemical and let it air dry. Works well for months.

Dan, I have used it for horses and cows, I generally used Ivermectin on the cattle, but Permethrin is a cheaper topical spray....used sparingly.
You guys mention using it on your clothes, I have known allot of guys that swear by it for ticks and chiggers, but I was always "a'skeered" to use it in the laundry when the kids where little.

The Permethrin wears off at some point but it takes months of weekly washing to do so. I would treat the work pants in the spring and by the late summer or early fall the chemical was starting to be less effective. The work pants would be worn/washed once a week so it took a fair amount of washing to remove the chemical. I have been lazy over the last couple of years and just spraying DEET on the pants. The Permethrin never bothered me but too much DEET soaked into the pants and kept close to the skin will cause me a slight rash.

Been using 33% permethrin for 10 years for mosquitos and around perimeter of the house to control pests. I mix 2 oz to 2.5 gal water for the stihl packpack fogger and spray every few weeks as needed in mosquito season .
My daughter runs with her boston terrier (he is a little terror) through wooded areas and he tends to wander off in the woods thus bringing ticks home and getting on the furniture and such. I read the label and recommendation and we did a about a .2% mix in a quart spritzer bottle and applied to his coat and rubbed in (not a drench) and this eliminated 95% of the tick problem. Using as a drench or dip you want it to be .05%
