Default RE: How do you avoid the early season ticks and other bugs?

ORIGINAL: longislandhunter

I live in Long Island where the ticks carry Limes disease.I amweary to hunt the early part of October because of all the bugs?I usually hunt an area that is relatively tick free but I cannot hunt there this year.I see lots of sprays but they all smell so strong. Any suggesstions. When do these buggers usuallydisappear for good?
I have used Adams Flea and Tick Mist. It works on my dogs and when I bow hunted on LI, I would spray it on my clothes as well, once it is dry the odor is gone. This is a water base product.

As far as when do they disappear, once the temps go below freezing they will be gone, and only when the temps are 32* and below. Once the temps are above freezing they will be back, and in full force.
