Leech,

It can be spray on......that's all I've found. Just bought some on Amazon for $15 and change enough for I think 4 outfits?

Thanks I'll look into it. I have never put anything on for ticks, just let my wife find em! grin

Most sporting goods stores carry it. I know I have gotten it from Gander and Fleet Farm in the past. Look for an orange and blue aerosol can by Repel or a yellow spray bottle from Sawyer. I have a concentrated version that I mix up that's cheaper in the long run.

Spray your clothes down good the night before you go out and let dry. It lasts for a couple weeks and through a couple washings. It has no scent at all.

Like I said in the other thread, I've been using it for 8 years now and have never had a single tick on me while wearing treated clothes in that time. Lymes scares me so I think it's well worth the time and money to do it.

Lyme also scares me. I know two people that are suffering chronic medical problems due to Lyme. One is only 40-years-old.

Went out yesterday and all of my clothing was treated last week. My younger brother didn't listen to big brother. He was picking off ticks and I ended up have to remove a deer tick from his shoulder.

NoWiser, where did you get the concentrated version?

I do treat my shoes and socks. I figure it can't hurt anything.

My dad picked up the concentrate for me when he got some for himself, so I don't know for sure, but I believe it is from Fleet Farm. I think it's for farm use but I just dilute it a bit and it seems to work just fine.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
