With the temps expected and little frost in ground, bet ticks show up soon Get your field work done soon!
Permethrin treated clothes- all parts- treat, hang & store & ticks will be non issue.
Insect Shield and Gamehide sell impregnated clothing good for 70 washes. You can even send clothing to Insect Shield and they'll treat it for you. Haven't hit 70 washings yet, but after 3 years, they're still going strong.
I am really considering getting some the elimitick clothing for myself and boys but man that stuff is pricey. Any thoughts on whether its worth the cost or is it just as good to spray cloths down the permethrin?
A buddy had that Elimitick clothing and it worked great but said you could immediately tell when it had been washed or dried too much and was no longer effective. Personally I like the permethrin route and just apply often because it's cheap. Plus that way ya dont have to worry about only having one set of hunting or farm work clothes.I am really considering getting some the elimitick clothing for myself and boys but man that stuff is pricey.

Elimitick has worked awesome for both my dad and I for the last 3 years. Used to always get them where we hunt, haven’t had a single one on me in years with the stuff. I only wash them a few times a year to ensure I don’t remove the resistant chemicals. It cost me 100 bucks for a full suit. I use it everytime I check trail cams and turkey hunt. I’m sold for life
Cant remember off hand. But will mainly depend what percentage you start with to dilute from there. I feel like I try to get to 1% without looking at my jugWhat is the P spray amount again? I forget every yr. An ounce to a gallon?
