I was born with nothing,
with hard work and deligence I still have most of it
this week a lot less...must be a hole in my pocket
I use repel 100 and it does the job for me.

Deet. It doesn't matter the brand name. I happen to use Off Deep Woods spray, which I think is 25% DEET. The CDC recommends between 30% and 50% DEET. The concentration will determine how long it's effective. 25% is in the 3 hour range with 100% protecting for 12 hours. I've used the Off Deep Woods and been protected all night in Southern Indiana. Having grown up in S. Illinois the regions are very similar in insect problems. If I use it and start getting bitten some hours later I just reapply and I'm good to go. S.Ill. can be crazy bad for tickets. I worked up at Rend Lake one summer and must have had thousands of tickets crawling around. The most I've ever seen in one spot.

The STRONGEST insect repellent will probably kill you too. That is how effective it is. DEET however, won't kill you (right away).
I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

Deet is traceable in the liver in a few moments. If I were worried about ticks, aka Lymes, I'd wear tick proof snug long underwear.

That's pretty much true for aspirin or anything else you take, inhale, place on your skin or inject. That's sort of the job of the liver so one would expect to find it there.

I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.
I'm so thankful we don't have ticks, fleas, cockroaches, poisonous snakes or spiders here. Hey there has to be some perks for living in -50.
Why do I live in Alaska? Because I can.

Yea if you stand IN the fire, I think you'd be good as far as most pests go.

I was being a smartass. I was thinking Lysol and a lighter.

You? Smartass? Say it ain't so.
It's just one of many services I perform.
