</o:shapelayout>& --94eb2c0a2e90296cf30556440d01 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I also use Picaridin (product comes in a green bottle from MEC for $10 dollars), but have gotten ticks. I will say that I find the Picaridin formula works well against black flies specifically, and pretty well against mosquitoes. Anyone else have any experience with the product?
