How do you avoid the early season ticks and other bugs?
I live in Long Island where the ticks carry Limes disease.I amweary to hunt the early part of October because of all the bugs?I usually hunt an area that is relatively tick free but I cannot hunt there this year.I see lots of sprays but they all smell so strong. Any suggesstions. When do these buggers usuallydisappear for good?

There is a spray called No Stinkin' Bugs it comes in fall blend earth scent .It smells just like the scent shield that I use.But I also tape my pant cuffs and tuck them into my boots as well.The ticks are bad in southern Maryland this year as well and dont see them going any where until it gets colder

Anywhere between William Flloyd and west hampton I think are the worst tick areas. I havent used any spray on my hunting clothes, but from what I understand it dries scent free.

As far as when do they disappear, once the temps go below freezing they will be gone, and only when the temps are 32* and below. Once the temps are above freezing they will be back, and in full force.
