  1. Give this a Try for ticks and other blood sucking insects...

    Take the clothes that you are going out in the woods scout in the day before place them in a plastic bag and spray a very liberal amount insect repellent such as "OFF" or what ever you prefer on your clothing and let them sit over night and follow your normal procedure for entering the woods this works really well.

    You will find the scent rather strong and so will the bugs, yet be aware heavy morning dew will weaken the treatment so respraying may be needed.

    Vote.
