Permethrin has really made a difference for me, not just for turkey hunting, but deer hunting too. Haven’t found a single tick since I started dousing my clothes with Sawyers spray. Keeps gnats, skeeters, and flies away too.
I have the stuff I was issued in the Air Force. Meant to treat tents, uniforms etc. gnats run from me. Treat my hat and no problem with bugs in my face. Not for use on skin though
