Insect Repellent Socks

[Greg Massey]

Insect Shield socks, do any of you use these type socks during turkey season, if so what brand do you prefer ?  I do know some people wear snake boots and others don't ...

I bought some off brand off amazon, go up to just below the knee and are comfy, wish I could find them again but they were some Euro company.

Work well, but after constant use I just treat them with permethrin a couple time a spring!  Just buy some nice tall snug fitting socks, darn tough are nice if they make a long one and treat them.

I just spray my socks down with permethrin when I'm treating everything else. I treat my boots, too. That may be overkill, but the only good tick is a dead tick. Fox River and DarnTough both make great socks, plus they're made in the USA.

The permethrin was exactly what I was thinking. Buy some concentrate. Mix it up and spray everything. You'll have insect socks

Greg, I use Gamehide Elimitick pants, socks, and shirt. Lightweight, and this stuff works. I do not get ticks on me when I wear it. I also use Tick spray on clothes prior to hunts, I hang them outside to dry prior. Hope this helps....
