Ticks
 

Frikken hate them!

I got 6 on me yesterday doing a photo shoot in the country and that makes 10 so far this year. Looks like its gonna be a bad year for the little bastards.

So what works to keep them off of you if you wander through fields?

The biggest ****ing drought ever.

Seriously. No ticks here this year.

I just bought a big box of Advantage II for my kitties. Maybe you ought to bathe in some.

They're just innocent little creatures trying to make their way in the world.

Yup.

Lymes Disease sucks...

I'd like to check you for some.

Lot of rain here this spring bastards are swarming. I may have to resort to Advantix if no one has a good suggestion.

I may have to come shoot videos there :)

Sawyer-Premium-Permethrin-Clothing-Repellent
DO NOT SPRAY ON SKIN...

Turkey hunting in Missouri... I would NEVER go without this stuff... Repel makes a product also.. Sawyer is the Best I have used... Watched the little suckers die after just crawling across a pant leg.

Wear a Alex Smith jersey. Ticks don't like the smell of shit.

Of what? Dirt blowing or the wind blowing through dead wheat?

Better check all your nooks and crannies. I mean that in the most positive way.

Cool beans, just ordered some. Great suggestion and rep!

The stars at night.

Kinda like this.

And change your settings quality to 1080p to really appreciate it.

Makes for good pictures though.

stop doing all those pervy,nude photo shoots outside and you won't get ticks on your peen.


:D

Thanks George and yeah I had a very intimate moment or two with myself.

Oh hell yeah. That'd work. As long as the wind isn't blowing.

It's really ****ing awful. Believe that.

EDIT: And I never lived through anything like that.

Cool... Stuff really works. I think the instructions say to wait 12 hours before wearing your clothes. I usually wait 24... Cool part has been that one treatment has lasted entire Turkey hunting seasons. Even after being drenched this Saturday, I was out in the woods this morning and saw a couple of the buggers keel over...

Do you have access to a monkey? Donger might be able to help you out if not...

Sulfur powder in your socks. Also, I believe its Niacine, the vitamin. And or garlic. These would be a cheap alternative.

Two pages.................SMH.

Antifreeze bath of course.

Best thing for ticks is a Permethrin based spray on your clothing. Deet doesn't work very well for ticks.

This stuff is great, and lasts a long time.

Motto: It's hardly at all like Agent Orange!

Damn bra, still?
We’re actually climbing out of the drought conditions on the east end, expecting a couple more days of rain/snow mix starting Thursday.

This makes sense. You don't want to know where I found one yesterday.

You saying Donger isn’t a monkey? Funny, I always picture and hear Lord Reginald from Sponge Bob when I read his posts.

I’ve heard that works but I’m not a big fan of walking around smelling like boiled egg farts all day.

:LOL:LMAOROFL

if you just don't watch their show they will eventually get cancelled

SPOON!

My clock has ticks. I can here'em! They're going tick, tick, tick, tick, tick tick, tick........

I had one in my beard last week.

Go to your vet and get Vectra 3d its the only thing that actually stops them from biting.

Put a block of dry ice in some ice chests and set it outside close to where you are shooting. :thumb:

Oh be sure to open the lid to the chests too.

I snuck out at lunch to look for some morels in a little park, and came back with way more ticks than muchrooms.

OK I'll bite, what does that do?

I have some spray somewhere that I found effective. Can't remember the name, will rummage for it later.

Wearing jeans, long socks, and long sleeves have worked for me. Also, boots are fantastic.

I heard that ticks avoid ocelots like the plague. Maybe you should find an ocelot to accompany you.

Unfortunately. Last single precipitation event that yielded over an inch widespread was April 8 2012.

I had to plow some corn stalks last week because they were blowing.... And it's April. Going to be a long summer.

This is true.

Margays (a relative of the wily ocelot) will go out of their way to entirely eviscerate an entire population of ticks.


Or so I've heard.

Pet collars around my boots and wrists

I don't know why but they just don't like me. Yes I get the occasional one here or there. But not very many at all. I can be hiking and everyone else will be covered and complaining. Ticks, Mosquitos just don't have any trouble with them.

permethryn (sp) is the shit. You wont have a tick within 10 feet of you. Spray on boots, pant legs, and pant waist and you will be good.

Nobody wants to hear about your S&M fetishes...

I'd postulate that you are dead. Check your pulse.

Well if you bathed every now and again...

ROFL

Gasoline and fire works.

Ugh. This thread reminded me of chiggers. Those ****ing things used to devour me. Are they still everywhere in Kansas?

Actually Dave that is how they catch ticks for study. Putting a block of dry ice on a blanket out in the open attracts a whole LOT of ticks to it. The dry ice must give of carbon dioxide and thats what prompts the ticks to action. When you walk thru tall grass and such the carbon dioxide that you breath out attracts them to you and they start grabbing for anything by instinct. So, yeah, its not a good idea for the dry ice. :evil:

Yeah, so are Raiders fans.

NEVAR should have been cancelled.

Glad he went on to bigger and better...

BTW anyone who likes Family Guy, American Dad, etc. should check out The Trouble With Girls...

Well someone's an insomniac..

Always have been.

Point?

No point.

Well, good then.

I'm a busy man. Things, lots of them, I have to do...

Yes. Well, eastern Kansas. Western Kansas is dry enough they don’t make it there, which is also why they have pheasants and we don’t.

I'm not a huge naturalist/hippie, but damn that shit sounds extremely toxic and I wouldn't want that crap anywhere near me, especially on my pants or around my dick. I know it's apparently that stuff or bloodsucking hell spawns on your body, but damn that is a tough call. I mean if they die crawling on your pants that means that chemical is on your body and you're breathing it too.

One of the best little known secrets about Colorado is we have virtually zero annoying bugs, pretty much no roaches, chiggers, mosquitoes, fleas, and very few ticks. Donk fans suck the big one, but I hike/camp/mtn bike extensively and don't recall ever having a tick on me in 15+ years here.

Solution: don't live in the Midwest?

I don't even know what a tick is.
