Time for the Permethrin!

[LaLongbeard]

So which Permethrin to use without the petroleum? I guess I'm either lost or don't see the  permethrin that is recommended.

Martins is one water based brand you mix with water and is a lot cheaper than the premixed brands and has almost no odor.

Here's a link to Tractor Supply  https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/control-solutions-permethrin-10-1-pt?cm_vc=-10005    Martin's is the brand that I use as well.  It can be obtained, as I stated, from E-bay, local farm and seed stores, some pet stores (dog flea and tick dip) and Amazon.  If you use it in a spray bottle a pint will make 16 20 oz bottles.  A quart will go a long way, so share it with a buddy.  DO NOT GET IT AROUND YOUR CATS, it will kill them.

Very good info here. I never did like my wife's cat.......just kidding!

I think if you look at the bottle it does contain petroleum distilates....at least the bottle I used did.

Guys don't get wrapped around the axles with the oil vs water debate.  You are using 1 ounce of permethrin in a 20 ounce bottle of water.  Shake it up and spray it.  I have been using it for years and don't see a problem on my clothes.  It smells when you put it on initially but the smell goes away when it dries.  Can deer smell it, probably, but I don't care in the spring.  Use it and prevent the possibility of having LOOOOOONG term effects of what a tick can do to your body.  PERIOD!  Just saying.

I agree, I am currently using some that I picked up at Tractor Supply.

Did anybody get any off them this winter? Two friends got several off them when the temps were in the teens. They were small suckers to. We've never had tick problems and never seen that kind

I will not step foot in the turkey woods without a can of Permanone (Permethrin) in the truck.

The other thread about permethrin said to avoid getting the wet solution on your skin. Is there any harmful effects on humans from  dried spray? I have not seen any cautions on the bottle or in any of the threads on the topics other than the one mentioned and cats. Just curious.

Gamehide makes " Elimitick" clothing that is good for 75 washes( so they say) that works well also. I sprung for 3 sets for my girls and I. Better safe than sorry. Be safe, Al Baker

I have some of the Elimitick line and it's great! Then i found out you can send your clothes directly to the company in Greensboro NC that treats their clothes (and the US military) for permanent protection. And it's a lot cheaper. Something along the lines of $8 per + shipping and it last the life of the garment. Company is called Insect Shield - google em and don't look back!

I can attest to Insect Shields quick turnaround. I've always had my treated clothes back within 5 days of sending them. These orders went to NC and Georgia, so it may be a couple of days difference for anyone outside the south, but it won't be bc IS didn't get them out. Knock on wood, but I have 100% success in the five years since I've used them to treat my camo.
