Saw this article about how ticks are going to be bad this year.

I am prepping my stuff today so here is my tick avoidance strategy.

- All outer garments sprayed with Sawyers Permethrin spray before season and once mid-season
- Ultrathon deet applied around waist line, neck, and other areas as needed for mosquitoes
- Secure pants legs using neoprene wader straps, socks, or duct tape
- Shirt always tucked in
- Nightly tick check in bed by wife :grin:

Yup I soaked my clothes in Sayers last night and put in a garbage bag to marinate lol

I got several off me this morning just from walking a logging road about 1/4 mile to listen for turkeys.

Seen a few so far but not as bad as I thought... hope it doesn't get too much worse. Chiggers and seed ticks are the worst.

i rode out to our place to listen the other morning and got 3 ticks off me and i never strayed out of the yard.

 

[LA man]

i got bit a few days ago, and found 4 others on me.
