TICKS AAARRRGGGGGG

  Try treating your clothing with Permethrin sp?, which you can buy in most Wall Marts or most sporting goods stores. It is a synthetic chemical that acts like substance derived from the chrysanthemum flower. It is a neurotoxin so treat it with respect. I treat my chaps and upper outer gear. Then my winter duds I treat also. The little ****** (fill in the blank) like the cold weather spring and fall, and best with some recent moisture. They will be active until the temperature goes below 25 F. Its either treat or stay inside for me. I work in the woods and have had three burrowed in this fall all from one day, just hadn't treated clothing yet.
  They were not native to this continent and seems they were brought to an Island off the East coast in a study. They got loose infesting the Island then hitchhiked to the mainland hence Lime Connecticut. Not sure if the Spirochete was native to our mouse population or not but it now had a carrier. Lime disease was present on the European Continent. The most studied person in the world ( the fella the found preserved in a European glacier) had markers of lime disease).
  Wow, we really needed these.

I've had good luck with Permethin as well.

Sister in law is getting tested today for lymes disease. She's had 2 removed from her in the past week just from getting the mail. So far they haven't been bad at my house this fall but in the spring we had them pretty much everywhere.

Sawyers is the only way to go

So my wife went and bought some of the Permethin. Well during and after the hunt last night I can say WOOOOHOOOO no FREAKING TICKS  Did see a few little doe's and a fair 8 point No shooting tho Thanks again for the info on the Permethin 
 

Ixodes scapularus  Deer tick. I have probably spent more time in the woods than 90% of the of outdoor people. As I worked and did most of my recreation in the woods. Until about 15 years ago I got dog ticks on me but never these Deer Ticks. They came in from outside. I remember the first showing up in P.I., Cooks Forest, Stat College areas. Think about it, where would people with their pets visit from New England. Then for some reason I then started picking them up in Butler Co. and a couple years latter in Venango Co. Now about everywhere.

Remember the dreaded "West Nile Virus" and how about the current "Zika Virus" drawing such a response and co-ordinated effort for extermination.

Thousands upon thousands, documented cases, of "Lyme Disease " across the U.S. and spreading.
