I know that Thermacell is very effective at repelling fly insects like mosquitoes  :chucknorris: and biting gnats :bat2:.
Does it work against crawling bugs like ticks   :character0029: and chiggers   :jackson:?

It only works on the flying bugs, still need deet or other chemical repellent for chiggers and ticks.  Wearing a tight fitting baselayer seems to help against bites.

Thermacell for the fliers, Permanone for the crawlers

You can still pick the ticks off of you and drop them into the grill of the ThermaCELL, and it will kill them instantly. That's how I kill time in the late part of the Pennsylvania season when the gobblers are trying to test my patience, and the ticks are more than willing to play :D

Turkeys are as smart as hunters make em and public land offers more classes.

A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409

My experience here in Iowa has been great!! When I was useing it, I didn't get any ticks. The times that it was forgotten, and in the same areas, I got ticks. I don't believe it is supposed to work that way but did for me the last few years. Very good investment....
I'd rather be in the woods thinking about God, than be in church thinking about being in the woods...

Repel is what I use and works unreal! I have never had any bugs,ticks mosquitos or any insects bother me while this was being used, Just spray it on all your clothes and let completely dry and your good to go the whole turkey season! I swear by this stuff in the spring turkey woods.
