My first run in with ticks was in 2013 when I added 2,100 taps on some land leased from a friend in the next town over. After finding a couple ticks on myself and the 2 workers, we started spraying our legs and boots with all sorts of OFF spray with 29 -100 % DEET. Still got ticks on ourselves. The three of us got tick bites once or twice.Then my wife heard about Insect Shield clothing. impregnated with Permethrin. Kind of pricey, but we bought socks ($20. a pair) and pants ($80). Those socks and pants combination keep the ticks away and off. Now, no matter what, when the ground is not completely covered with snow, I wear that clothing and it is VERY effective.
