Another Thermacell question

[Woodsman4God]

Hi guys

While I have had my thermacell for 2 years and I love it. I have not had the chance to test it vs Ticks. From those of you who know , does a thermacell help against ticks?

[stinkpickle]

Where do you get the permethrin? Sorry for the stupid question, but ticks are unbelievably bad this year. Getting covered looking for morels!!

I' ve seen it in Walmart by the regular bug spray in the sporting goods section.

Most Farm and Garden shops sell the 10% permethrin.  A 8 oz bottle will make 8 16 oz bottles.  Mix 1 oz to 15 oz of water and you have a .625%.  Use it on your clothes and hat the night before a hunt and you should be well protected.  See the permethrine thread in the Turkey Hunting Forum.
