That sounds good! Would you normally have had a few by now?

Yeah have tried it. Wouldn’t say it last as long as the company thinks recon I can get about a month out of trousers before needing to reapply but then that’s with daily wear.

I'll give it a shot. Have you ever used permethrin spray? A mate has recommended that

 

[Uncle Norm]

I have used the permethrin spray and it's very effective. A mate got it in the USA, but I'm out of it now and wouldn't know where to get it.

I thought it was prescribed only

I have tried it and it was great for ticks but my skin didn’t like it and any clothes I treated with it and wore would cover me in rashes and sores.

That doesn't sound great.... think i'll avoid that

I’ve just come back from a week long trip to South Africa where the farm we were shooting on was infested with ticks. Both dogs and PH’s were plastered with the hateful little blighters.

I’d sprayed my boots and clothing with a good dousing of Sawyers permethrin prior to going and didn’t get bitten once.

That sounds awesome apart from the ticks! Were the PHs using it?

 

[Koenig]

No, they just seem to accept it.

 

[Koenig]

The Sawyers spray really worked well.

 

[E Watson]

No, they just seem to accept it.

occupational hazard I suppose

The Sawyers spray really worked well.

I'll try get my hands on a bottle even if just for my boots, thanks for recommendation

To be honest I must be lucky and in a tick free zone but can't he too careful

I use it and so do several buddies, no issue at all. Always best to just treat the top layer of clothes anyway to avoid skin contact but I use a treated shirt and trousers with no issues.

Some people will react unfortunately but most don’t, rovince clothing is treated with permethrin and plenty of people wear that with no issues.

This is the one I use, same strength as sawyers but has pyrethrins and pyrethroids too. Very effective, if you do want to stick to outer layers get some gaiters to treat as well as your boots and treat your jacket.
