I encounter lots of ticks, but only on specific pieces of property I hunt. I don't know why some areas are much more prone to have larger concentrations of ticks than others, considering most of these areas are within an hour drive of each other.
I have had pretty good luck with the permethrin treatment on my clothing, and if not concerned about scent, will also use a repellant on the skin for added protection.
I like the idea of the double-sided tape; I hadn't heard of that method yet. Will give it a try.
Has anyone tried any of those bug suits that essentially enclose you in a fine mesh suit?
Are they worth it or too much trouble?
