I had really good luck using Avon' s Skin so Soft to keep the ticks away. I put it on my skin before I got dressed, and it seemed to work all day. Guys I met who were hunting the same area had lots of ticks on them while I had none.

I' ll be using it next month to keep the mosquitos away during dove season. We have had some deaths here in Colo already from West Nile.
