Default RE: ticks are out

crokit,permanone is a brand name.You can buy it at wall mart.It's a copper colored can with a blue lid.You spray it on your coths and it will last for over two weeks.I keep a can in my truck at all times and A pair of pants and shirt sprayed down at all times.If i know I'm going to the woods,I just put those cloths on.This works wonders.It's doesn't repel them however,it kills them after they're on you for a few minutes.

As far as dogs go,I buy a concentrated version of the active ingrediant permetherine at Tractor supply.It's about $5 for a small 8 ounce bottle that you mix with water.This stuff is designed for livestock but I imagine it would work on dogs.Probably best to ask you vet first or call the manufacturer.I use it on my horses and it does work.I may be wrong but I think the brand permanone has something in it that bonds to fabric so it may not be as effective if you spray it on animals.Again,I may be wrong about that.

I seriouisly wouldn't consider going in the woods from now until the first frost without spraying down with permanone or another variation of permetherine.
