When I am in the "right place at the right time" to get black-legged ticks,=
especially the nymphs, =C2=A0I use a combination of light coloured (so I c=
an see ticks), =C2=A0pyrethroid-treated clothing and a personal insecticide=
with pyrethrin or pyrethroids (synthetic analogues of=C2=A0pyrethrin) to w=
ard them off.
This summer I began using the Piactive product. =C2=A0I was walking some cl=
earcuts in early July with a colleague who had sprayed exposed skin but had=
untreated clothing. Walking the same route, he picked up 5 black-legged ti=
cks, I picked up none. =C2=A0
The Piactive product (which contains icaridin, a pyrethroid) is said to be =
good for 12 hours; it doesn't smell bad like Deet, nor does it dissolve som=
e synthetic clothing as Deet does.
Regardless of whether I have been wearing treated clothing & using the pers=
onal insecticide I am always on the lookout for ticks on my skin when I sho=
wer.
So far so good.

7812152416 I don't use a repellent for ticks as they are present around my =
yard and I would have to apply it every time I go outside. I have tried Pia=
ctive for mosquitoes & black flies, it is 20% Icaridin and seems to be comp=
arable to deet. The label states that it is also effective for Ticks so I s=
uspect it would provide some protection.=C2=A0Kevin=C2=A0From: David Schlos=
