If you stay in tents....

Remove all leaf litter in the tent if it has no floor. You can then treat the ground with any typical house and garden spray or even Yard Guard.

If your tent has a floor. Again I would remove leaf litter of the ground past the size of the tent. I would spray as above. Or Do not remove the leaf litter but spray and palce a piece of plastic down and build the tent on this.

Treating your clothes as described above is good information. It does work. I also treat my boots and my hat.

I do use OFF! on my skin as you CAN NOT use the Permanone on your skin if the tick population is really bad.

Also I wear long johns and tuck my leg bottoms in my socks. Only thing exposed on me is my hands, & neck as I wear tight collared shirts.

Back at camp and when I remove my hunting clothes and long johns they all go into a big plastic bag and I spray a bit in this and then seal.

If bitten. Remove the tick promptly with a forceps and wash the bitten area and your hands with hot water and soap. Place the tick on a file card with a piece of tape over it and mark area bitten and date. Save this is if ya come down with some unkown ailment you got the critter.

Removal of the tick is easy if you check each morning and each night before bed. Ticks do attach thru their piercing chewing moth parts. They do not burrow under the skin. It takes 24 to 36 hours to get infected from any tick that has bitten you. That is why prompt removal is a must!


You get them out quickly is the best rememdy.
