Ticks

For riding I use deet on exposed skin and treat my shoes and pack with Sawyer Permethrin; I used to treat my socks with permethrin but now I just buy them pre-treated by Insect Shield:

For trail work I use socks, pants and shirts by Insect Shield, the treatment is supposed to last much longer than the DIY Sawer, "up to" 70 washes v 6 washes/42days.
 
Walked the butterfly garden at Wawayanda today for 15 minutes, and pulled 6 ticks off my shirt & pants.
