[QUOTE="gogittum, post: 486668, member: 27114"] I arrived in west central FL in Feb and by May the Ticks were everywhere. People on another forum suggested Permethrin, so I tried it but had iffy results - and I don't believe that "washing clothes 6 times" bit. Certainly wasn't true for me. I hike a lot in wooded areas with my Dog - every day - and every outing "had" to end with a full body search to get the damned things off, esp. on legs/waist. Even had a small one dug in between little and ring fingers of left hand one day on return. I finally went back to wearing the gaiters I wore in NM to keep grass seeds out of my socks. That works, but inconvenient and the occasional one even got thru those. Haven't seen a Tick now in several months, so assume they're a springtime nuisance. Mosquitoes are an upper body pest for the most part and haven't tried Permethrin above my waist. It can be some pretty nasty stuff. For me, Off works well for skeeters.....no-see-ums are a different story. [/QUOTE]
