Hey gang,a few years ago I remember seeing a pair of longjohn looking pants that were supposed to repel ticks. Does anyone remeber these or have other suggestions for a similar pant?
Permethrin is an insecticide that is very effective against ticks. You can purchase a liquid form that can be sprayed onto your trousers, then left to dry before wearing. A pair of trousers treated with Permethrin will retain its effectiveness through six washings. In my experience, Permethrin works well for ticks and black flies, less so for mosquitoes.
