#permethrin
#PSA: Ticks are not insects, they're parasitic arachnids. Regular insect repellents don’t work on ticks, you have to use permethrin.

Me: using the most hippie house cleaners, dish detergents, and laundry detergent

Me confronted with mosquitoes: All the chemicals! coat clothes in permethrin + 100% deet. Lathering my body in picaridin.

Great tip from the article – permethrin pre-treating your hiking/field clothes (do this *outside* in a well-ventilated area and keep away from pets until dry!) makes them an even stronger barrier to mosquitoes & ticks 🦟

And it works for scabies too, though first line treatment in the US usually topical permethrin, right?

Die Therapie erfolgt mit Permethrin-Creme 5%, die von Kopf bis Fuß lückenlos aufgetragen werden muss.

Alternativ kommt Ivermectin als Tablette in Betracht. Wegen potentieller Nebenwirkungen ist es Mittel 2. Wahl.

Bugger, Tilly and I both just got bitten by a bull ant. Bush walks might be too risky this summer.
I’ve already had 3 tiny grass ticks too.
Straight onto them with Lyclear permethrin cream which kills them, if you’re lucky, before they embed.

Not pictured: mosquito wristbands and the gallon of permethrin that we used to treat our clothes

Last week, we purchased 120 MAMO anti-tick permethrin sprays and 400 DEET sprays according to special request. Permethrin sprays have already been sent to the troops, and DEET ones are waiting for shipping.

Treated some hiking gear with permethrin yesterday. Now I just need a cloudy day with no wind to get back out there.

A study of more than 22,000 submissions to the U.S. Military's "MilTICK" program over nearly a decade shows strong evidence that treating uniforms with permethrin is successful in protecting wearers from tick-borne disease. #entomology

New: I called up Thomas Mather at University of Rhode Island, @thetickguy.bsky.social, to ask — How do you fend off ticks?

Spray any shoes you're going to wear in nature (even walking shoes, golf shoes) with permethrin to ward off ticks.

Permethrin seems to also work as well is my understanding but that stuff can be bad for some pets.

When you are a birder, picking out your wardrobe for a big trip is easy. We’re heading to a malaria zone so a little permethrin treatment just happened.

Penn State has been researching "tick tubes," for people to use on their property. It's a tube filled w cotton soaked with permethrin & the idea is that mice will take the cotton to use for nesting and the permethrin will rub off onto the mice. When ticks latch onto mice ticks die.

Public health expert here, specializing in military medical entomology. In the absence of effective countermeasures (such as vaccines, bed nets, permethrin treated uniforms, etc) the disease and non battle injury casualty rate will exceed the combat casualty rate.

The 28th Brigade received their permethrin supply. The cats are safe from bugs! 🦭🕷️
