Working in the woods is not what it use to be. Mosquitos and biting mites have always been annoying. Now ticks have been found to carry Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, either one of these is sure to spoil your day. A good line of defense against these critters is to spray work clothes with Permathrin. Permathrin repells and kills ticks, mosquitos and mites, getting rid of them before they can climb down your neck or into your sock.
And it remains effective up to 2 weeks. But remember, Permathrin is only for treating your clothing. Do not spray on your skin.
