Great tip Pat!!IF I might add another view to this tip by Pat is use this tip not only for your own well being in ridding your cloths of ticks but the rest of your family too.My wife does most of the wash duties and trust me when I say one of the worse things you can do is just come out of the woods get home and throw your camy's in the dirty cloths treated for ticks or not.Not only can these buggers end up on other cloths as a result but this is a great way to give your wife or family poison oak/ivy also!!Yes I learned the hardway!And I still hear about it regularly,as a result I'm a little more courteous!!
