[QUOTE="dbhostler, post: 39744, member: 799"] Permethrin is the best killer of ticks there is. It was developed by the military a number of years ago and could be purchased surplus. Now the big chemical companies have begun to market it. The good thing about it is one application lasts for months and the human body will break it down, unlike other insecticides. I live in the country and our area is heavily infested with several species of ticks and this gets them all. Look for the strongest % of Permethrin you can find. A mixture of 1.5% is sufficient to kill within a couple of minutes after contact wet or dry. In our area, Lowe's carries a product called Carpenter Ant & Termite Killer made by Spectraside. It's a 5.7% liquid emulsion that you mix in a sprayer. Really works! db [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
