oh hunting, no i was talking about OTHER than hunting.

i have no answer to that.

my dog got bit last week.
he blew out his back end bigtime last night.never saw that in my life,he had it all over my kitchen cabinets and walls.

now he is limping along when he gets up.

he is due for his annual lyme shot and test monday.

i bet he got lymes from that bite last week.:(

these ticks have got to be addressed by our state.

i know HIKERS that said they are not coming back because of these ticks.

you should see how some hikers are dressing,they look like they are in bee suits:)

I knew you mentto use skin so soft while in the woods,other than hunting.That was a good tip for those that didn't know.;)Hope your dog gets better. Can't believe how a little bug can be a big pain.[:@]

RE: ticks are out
 

Yes, but not until it dries. It is for use on clothes only, for skin you need something with deet in it, the higher percent the better.

Deet isn't supposed to be used on the skin either.

what a start to year.

12 ticks on my dog from just being in woods for 1 hr.

i tried a tick killer i got at WAL-MART.

it is called ...HARTZ ADVANCED CARE 2/1 FLEA&TICK DOG SPRAY.

it has nozzle for stream to put it down your dogs back and spray also.

it killed all 12 ticks dead,they hung onto him but were dead as a doornail.

so far, i like this better they the expensive advantix 9,i think i paid 9 dollars or less for 19.6 oz.

it says apply 1 time a week,i bet you could go longer if you dont have dog in water.

i like it so far and its cheap compared to advantix 9.

i am reading bad things on BIO-SPOT so i would avoid that.

it has that PREMITIN thing in it and dogs are getting sick from it.

Hey guys,,,hows this permethrin stuff for Kids,,,I know the Deet stuff is great for adults but i hear it can be harmful to children,,,does the permethrin have the same risks?

RE: ticks are out
 

Yeah, the ticks are out bigtime already. Used to be I only had to worry about them when up at camp in northern Clearfield Co., PA. In the past few years, however, they have been showing up with annoying regularity down here in Indiana Co. also. Never used to be bothered with them here at home. My yellow lab has had several on him this year. I've taken some live ones that were still scooting around on him off, and today found one embedded on his neck that I removed. Gotta check myself every day anymore. I DO like checking the wife for ticks, however..........................
