Coach Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 We got into a large amount of wood ticks during our last camping trip. They were thick even in the short cut grass, walking to the fire pit and back would get you 2 or 3. Besides wearing bug spray, is there anything else you can do about them? Thanks for any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnAFly Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Wear long underwear and tall socks. That's about all I could do last weekend in Canada. We stopped for shore lunch on an island and were covered in a matter of minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip_Ripper Guy Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Buy some permethryn spray. Had a big problem with ticks and that took care of it right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cramer Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 The wood ticks this year have been the worst that I can ever remember, I really don’t think that there is much one can do to keep them off, they will thin out as soon as it warms up some.

Stick in Mud Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I suppose we could all stay out of the woods.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
