All my hunting clothes get the permethrin treatment. No ticks since I started using it. None.
Few if any ticks on the deer I’ve killed the past few seasons.
Noticing a lot of you guys use the permethrin. I am not familiar with this treatment.
Is this a scent-free chemical? Must you treat the clothes before each outing or is it used only once at the beginning of the season?
Can you apply to skin also?

Spray once, treatment lasts about six weeks or six washings. NOT for skin, or underwear. I use the Sawyers brand available all over, but others mix their own with concentrate from ag suppliers. It actually kills any ticks that don’t take the repellent hint. I do all my external clothing, including socks and shoes/boots. Also spray my pack and turkey vest. Let it dry before wearing. I don’t smell anything, but who knows what Bambi can. If he’s downwind, he can smell my breath anyway.
Great stuff
