Anyone got any experience with Permethrin as an anti tick treatment.
Normally smother myself in 100% Deet but last time i went to Exmoor the little devils still got me and the Scottish midgies seem to love the stuff on me now (wierd as i remember being able to walk through swarms of them when i was a nipper and they didnt bother me ).
Was talking to a farmer up in Scotland and he said get some Permethrin and spray it on clothing because ticks cant stand the stuff and midgies keep there distance as well..
Anyone got any experience with this.
+ its supposed to last several weeks on whatever its sprayed on.
Might also try Picaridin instead of Deet as well.
