Tick/bug repellent

[blackradio]

I was turkey hunting last week and when I got out of the woods I had a big bit on my arm that swelled up an inch diameter around the bite. I also have a bunch of bites on my back that got swollen and itch really bad; they're just starting to clear up. Not really sure what bit me but it wasn't a tick. I've also pulled 4 ticks off me in the past week or two. Now, thinking about deer season...what tick repellent do you guys use? Is there any scent free tick/bug repellents?

Sawyer Premium insect repellent for clothing (odorless Permthrin). Will kill ticks on contact. Spray on clothing only.(NOT ON SKIN) Last up to 6 weeks with one spraying. After spraying clothes, let dry for two hours before wearing. I buy mine at Cabela's. I hear that Dick's are selling it now also. Good Luck and happy hunting.

Definitely Sawyer Permetherin spray.  Dick's is carrying it in a 9 ounce can for 8 bucks.  Works like a charm.

+1 for Sawyers

Permathin / permanone clothing spray - treatment, it drys into the material. Don't get in on your skin. Oh - watch for lime disease. There's a link about it on the pathfinder site (sig).
