I guess it's the permethrin that makes the difference. We sprayed down pretty well the last two trips! Last year I pulled quite a few ticks off me, but I wasn't bathing in permethrin like this year.

Not a good sign at all. I was gonna leave my bugnet at home this weekend but I'm afraid the mosquitoes and ticks might be corresponding and coordinating to start the season early.

I get my Permethrin 10% on Amazon.

You can get it cheaper...

Not following you at all. My dog goes in the brush when he walks, I don't. He gets ticks and brings them home because I pull them off him. I don't need a PCO to tell me that.

I've never heard of...

Of course they have to carry their own hammocks, tarps, rations and water. A hiking chicken is a true multipurpose item too: alarm clock/tick repellent, as well as emergency rations if you get hungry.

I think we're on to something here - hiking chickens! Just send them up the trail a bit to clear all ticks before I come through.

I imagine it might be hard to get a permit for them in some state...

So new it doesn't even have a name.

I hate ticks.

Felt something tickling my back in my apartment today. Went to scratch it and pulled out a tick. Geez, I haven't been near the woods. All I've done is take my dog walking around the apartment...
