Deer Ticks

[Travelover]

What brands should I look for to buy permethrin? We live in tick heaven and my wife had Lymes disease terribly several years ago. She has had two stuck on her quite deep already this year.

You can buy Sawyer brand in little cans, but I buy "fly spray" at Tractor Supply for a lot less. Just research the proper dilution.

Maybe this will help us, I've started saving paper towel tubes three weeks ago, when I get a bunch I'll do what this guy is doing>>> DIY Tick Tubes | How to kill ticks - YouTube

Do you have a direct link? I don't see a Sawyer brand on the website.

I meant to say Sawyer sells diluted permethrin in little containers at the big box stores, but it is much cheaper to buy fly spray that is undiluted permethrin at Tractor Supply.

That Amazon one is what I was looking at in the 24oz size. Thanks for the links guys.

They're bad here right now. At least at our place they are, can't even walk out in the grass without picking up one, and working in the tree rows, I have several on me when I come in.

They are already terrible this year. Had one crawling on my arm the other night on the couch.

Bad here, too, in Michigan. Every time I walk my dog I find them on her if we go anywhere near tall grass.

Just ordered some perethrin online. Hoping for good success when it gets here next week.
