Permanone experience?

[StickBowManMI]

I have had ticks climbing up my pants leg and watched them fall off and die after exposure to the permanome. Great Stuff. I always have it in my SUV.

Where have all you guys been buying your permaone? I  can never find it in stores around here, where ticks should be the local team mascot.

Well I could be the poster child for the stuff.    One spring I sat in some tall grass of an old food plot turkey hunting.Wound up with over 300 ticks and a trip to the doctor for treatment for lyme in the end.Treated all my clothes with it and hunted the same place the next weekend.I would watch ticks crawl up my pants leg start slowing down and die before they passed my knee.Came home with NO ticks at all!It is the best thing ever invented for a hunter as far as I am concerned. jmho

Walmart sells it here under the "Repel Permanone" name. Coulston's Duranon is the same stuff.

I buy it by the box, whenever I see it, mostly at the hunting shows.

Swamp Pygmy,
Tick identification is important. Everyone is worried about Lyme Disease.  So how do I protect myself, my family -and my dog- from this terrible plague?  Knowledge.  Tick repellent. Tight clothing.  Inspections.  But what if you've done all that, and you still find an engorged tick?  You need to be able to differentiate, or identify, between the different tick species to avoid unnecessary worry and unnecessary trips to the vet.

The tick that primarily carries lyme disease is I. Scapularis, also called the Black-Legged Tick, or the Deer Tick. The deer tick is very very very tiny, approximately the size of a fleck of black pepper.  They are very nearly impossible to see on a dog, and can still be difficult to see even when engorged.

The common dog tick can range in size from very small, but clearly visible, to quite large.  Then when they're engorged, they blow up like a big greyish/greenish blob

Those gators scare teh crap out of you all right, till you get lymes or RMSF and then you know what problems really are!

Put it on your clothes outdoors, hanging on a fence or something, and give them time to dry.

Don't forget your belt area of both the shirt and the pants.
