Ticks
Posted: Mon May 08, 2017 7:31 pm
I guess this could easily be in the hunting forum as well but for all the shore fishermen I thought this could be helpful for those concerned with ticks, as they sure seem to be getting worse over the years.
Not sure if I posted this here before already, but get yourself a bottle of Ultra Shield EX by Absorbine. I get it a TSC but any place that sells horse stuff should carry it. It kills and repels many insects.
Set apart some sets of clothing for outdoor use. Spray them well and let dry. The ingredients will stay effective through several washings even. So long as you seal ankles and wrists you will have no ticks on you at all. You can also use it on your dogs and their bedding areas for more protection. Do not use on cats. They say it lasts 17 days on horses. They used to have info for dogs on the bottles too but not allowed in Canada anymore. The American ones still do. http://absorbine.com...ultrashield-ex/
