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.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
