Default No more ticks/chiggers!

With bow season starting this weekend here in Va., the bug problems become a daily concern. Just thought I would share a surefire method of getting rid of those ticks and chiggers at the end of the hunt. I have been doing this for years and works great. Stop by the drug store and pick up a bottle of "Body Lice" shampoo. Typically its called RID or Lice treatment??? It runs about 8-12 buck for a 4oz bottle. A single bottle will last most of the warm part of the season. The store brand works fine and only cost about hafe. Follow the directions just as if you had body lice (crabs)but you won't need the comb. Just lather up with the shampoo and wait the 5-10 mintues as directed, then rinse off. Yeah it's kinda embarassing at the counter but so is some the scratching you'll be doing come Monday morning if you don't use it. This real works and is better that the panty hose trick, tons of bug spray and late night scratch-a-thons....

Spray your clothing with Repel Permanone and use a good percentage Deet repellant on your hands and face, NO TICKS, CHIGGERS,OR MOSQUITOES!!!! The permanone product is sold at Walmart and lasts about 3 washings per application.

Aim Hard!
