Title: tick repellant
Post by: darron on April 16, 2012, 06:54:29 PM
Anyone recommend a good tick spray that can be applied on camo without fading?

You need some Permethrin.  Go to the below link and buy some of this.  It used to be named Permanone but the labeling changed for some reason.  Where I hunt, the "seed" ticks are BAD and this stuff works.  I'm talking I can have hundreds of ticks on me at a time.  They will literally fall off your clothing when they come in contact with this stuff.  DO NOT APPLY TO YOUR SKIN...clothing only. I usually try to spray the night before so it doesn't soak through.  Good luck.

Here's a pic I took of a few ticks I had on me.  No biggie. :)

Permethrin is great. I have used it for years and haven't had a tick on me since and the skeeters are not a problem either.
