I remember when that came on the market few decades ago. Just make sure not to spray on exposed skin.but as soon as a tick steps it feet on cloth with that on it they make a break for the exit. But never make it.

The stuff I use for the yard and around the house is a mixture of Bifen and tenguard.
For my clothes I usually get lice bedding spray, it has permethrin.
If you will mix it with tenguard it will nuke them all year

Tengard is permethrin, just a particular brand and at a concentration high enough to be restricted use. I'll mix tengard/perm-up or the concentrated Bifen with regent (fipronil) to hammer the fire ants.
Out of curiosity, why mix two pyrethroids and not two different classes that would be more effective?

Most dangerous creature in the woods is no bigger than the tip of your little finger. Everything else will, if possible, get out of your way. These things hunt you.

Bad this year in the U.P. of Michigan too! I killed a coyote a couple weeks ago that had a number on him. 2 on his face that were gorged and looked like grapes. I picked him up with a shovel and put him in the bucket of my tractor for transport to his burial site. He's now a good yote.
I use this and so far it works well. I spray all my hunting clothes with special emphasis on the leg area.
The wife and I have strict no tic policy . Whenever we go out , first thing we do when we get home is I check her for tic's , then she checks me , it's kind of fun , LOL
PA has been bad for several years now. Use a variety of natural sprays on myself and our 2 German Shepherd dogs. I got Lyme 2 years ago but caught it early and 30 days of doxycycline took care of it, no long term effects so far. Permetherin does work very well, I spray all my hunting clothes and boots with it.
I can see a future problem with that. Its called children.
Just a mix by Uncle gave me, he owns a pest exterminator business so that is what I have used.
No telling where they might be hiden
Practice practice practice
Len, worse I ever seen in Michigan. Sprays, and all precautions needed. Shower immediately after getting home. Clothes left in garage and checked. Prefer immediate washing to be sure.
