you all know permethrin is a chemical right?

If there were only non chemical answers, this thread would be nothing but crickets. Another big fan of permethrin and thermocell…..but I also spray my bucket hat with 40% deet, either repel or off

THE NON CHEMICAL ANSWER just might be Apple cider vinegar! I know it works for ticks and it may work for mosquitoes…….I tried and I can’t drink it. A shot each day and ticks will leave your body faster than they got on it!

Interesting! Never heard of that. Is this a shot of cider in the morning before you go out type of thing or does one need to continually dose throughout the season for it to be effective?
 
Sitka Guard does help. Even that you'll still need to bring out the thermacell. Good thing is I don't need any spray anymore

The apple cider vinegar trick works great for ticks and chiggers I’ve been doing this for years. The Braggs AC vinegar is the one to use. I just take about 2 table spoons of if diluted in a cup of water each night. If you can’t do the drink just eat pickles every day for a week then you can eat a few every other day and get the same results. If you research the Braggs vinegar there are several health benefits from it also. It doesn’t help with skeeters or biting flies wish it did.
