alexwc46 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Excuse me if this has been asked already. I did search the forum but couldn't find anything. Can anyone advise on a good tick repellent spray/cream?

No Hare Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Frontline will work. If you enjoy showering or bathing everyday use Tabart spray. (shucks, Kaka is going to win, his got a picture!! ) Edited October 3, 2013 by No Hare
jmic Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Old fashioned Tabard spray (the one in the spray can).The frontline will work too, just more expensive... Edited October 3, 2013 by jmic
alexwc46 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Posted October 3, 2013 Cool, thanks a lot. Will give the frontline a miss, haha.
MONS Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Mylol - there is a spray and an oil.. works a charm and does not stink like Tabard!
Big H* Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Thy this product. It is called Peripel, You wash your clothes in it. http://www.bayeres.c...d=65&com_task=1 It is very effective. Edited October 3, 2013 by Big H*
DJR Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 OK, it's time to confess......I've used Frontline on my Labrador for years.....and then one day I had a brilliant idea......if it was good enough for my best friend, it was good enough for me.....so I sprayed myself liberally around the legs before going for a hike.....all worked well until I got some scratches from thorny vegetation......then it started to sting like mad......and rubbing just made it worse......
izzypzee Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Bayticol and Peripel are both designed to be used as a wash-in/Spray-on for clothing. The active ingredient is called Permithrin. It is NOT designed for direct skin application. It is, however, extraordinarily good at repelling insects. Pros - lasts up to 3 months from application, cons - bad for the environment (does not degrade), does not protect exposed skin. Tabard, Peaceful Sleep, Bushman etc. use a chemical called Di-ethyltoluamide - (DEET for short). The higher the DEET content, the better it is at repelling insects. You can up to 100% DEET content. PROS - Nothing beats it. CONS - toxic. Not intended for prolonged usage (no more than 2 weeks). Definately not for kids (can cause a fit). It is banned in many countries worldwide. Citronella, NEEM, LemonGrass, Kakhibos (Natural stuff) does certainly work. Just use lots of it.

deanbean Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Rum is a good repellant, taken internally. Ask Kingsley Holgate, why is he sponsored by Captain Morgan?
fanievb Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 My GP told me to just get bitten, build up resistance. When you get sick just treat the symptoms and don't take the antibiotics.
