Ticks 2024

[Kdf101]

I just took a nice walk in the woods with this on... so far, so good.

I just ordered some of that last week. Never heard of it before, but somebody on this forum was talking about it. I hope it works, mushroom season is coming up soon and we always seem to pick up a few. The dogs get monthly flea and tick meds, so they stay pretty good.

I use permethrin. It works, I know it works, I've used it for years and I'll probably use it for years more so long as I can get it. It's cheap.

"Wondercide" $26 for 16 OUNCES? LOL, yeah right.

My 2 beagles get flea/tick/heartworm 12 months religiously. It doesn't stop the ticks from trying to get them. Every once in a while we will comb out a dead one brave enough to bite them but quite a few ride on them into the house.

We need some statewide agent orange spraying... I hate ticks.

Dad used to have some out in our shed (Dioxin). He had friends in the highway department and they used to spray it to control clover beside the highways. Used to have DDT also.

Probably the only way to get rid of them

I have permerthrin as well, do you spray it right over your clothes? Someone here posted the Wondercide with a great review so I gave it a shot. Smells good and non toxic, we will see how long the bottles last though.

That was me. I buy it by the gallon to help get the price down to $.86 per oz. That also allows me to have enough on hand to wait for their sale prices to buy more. Just spent another weekend in that same field. Still no ticks!

Found a tick on me on Sunday while hiking at the Kankakee marsh.

Since it was warm today and the dogs would be running the pines, I remembered the Bronco Equine Fly spray someone recommended. 45 minutes running and no ticks to be found. It has 3 ingredients with permethrin listed at .1%. Other ingredients listed at 99.376%. I think I got it at TSC.

We will have to give that stuff a try. We are treating our dogs with oral remedy but aren't convinced it will be effective in the deep woods.

Woke up last night with my arm itching. Yep, one got me right above the elbow on the inside. First one I've had this year. Not sure where I picked it up, hadn't been out in the yard or anything.

My beagles were in the pines this weekend and came in the house with about 5 ticks on them. It seems they try to climb to their head or back to get away from the skin smell. My Uncle said how do you find them so small? He's used to seeing them blown up full of blood.

I bought some of the wondercide and the Wife used it before going mushroom hunting yesterday, she came home covered in ticks.....waste of money.

Still using the industrial strength stuff.

I was packing up my bag for next week's turkey trip and found a big Lone Star nestled between 2 folded shirts. Little Ba$tard was obviously waiting with ill intent, so I dispatched him accordingly. He has been in there at least 4 days, since I got back from the farm.

Been lucky mushroom hunting this spring and only brought back a few ticks. I hate them with the white hot intensity of a burning sun...

If I had a choice of rounding all the ticks or all the liberals and transporting them to Tehran, I am not sure which one I would choose.
