Fish Raptor, they already are becoming immune to tick meds. Our boxer faithfully gets his monthly dose yet at a recent checkup the vet said he had a tick borne disease which was treatable. I said we give him his monthly preventatives, how could this be. She said no matter what's used to prevent or deter them, human or animal, ticks have shown they will eventually build up a resistance.

so far so good. Cedar oil is safe for animals/ people / but kills most bugs on contact, and you get to smell like a pine tree.

the stuff is got is called cedarcide. I take my dog trout fishing with me all the time, last month I was pulling 4-10 ticks off her every time. I now spray myself and her down before we go out, and only 1 tick on her in the last 2 weeks, trout fishing probably 3x a week....

DEET and permethrin scare me as much as lymes, i have way too much cancer in my family and my wifes family, we try to live as clean and natural as possible...

Very interesting..... where do you get this "Cedarcide".....?

i bought it directly off their website..

https://www.cedarcide.com

I'm pretty sure you can get pure cedar oil and dilute it with another carrier oil, but the above seemed easier and a hunter I know recommended it to me...

between the cedarcide, and the homemade tick tubes I made, that's about as good as it's going to get for me.

I took the pooch trout fishing yesterday again for 2 hrs. she was running like a lunatic chasing deer through the ferns and pine forest the entire time. came home and checked her, found 1 tick crawling near her face, the one place I didn't spray her... I don't poison my dog with fipronil (frontline), i don't even want that poison sh!t within 5 miles of my backyard beehives... #^&#^&#^&#^& that crap and everyone overuse of insecticide...

If you do any f these things, the tick's natural reaction is to regurgitate which severely increases your risk of infection.

You have to grab the tick as close to to the mouthpiece as possible. Recommended tools are needle nose tweezers or a tick removal device.

I carry a "Ticked #^&#^&#^&#^& tool on my keychain. It's like a spoon with a notch cut in it. Cheap on Amazon.

I know little about fishing, but I do know Ticks and the multiple diseases that they can transmit. I had 3 for many years that were misdiagnosed. Now I'm neurologically damaged.

Please trust me on this one. Wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

Yes. This is true, there is so much bad info on the internet that can get you infected. Like rub them with liquid soap. Do not do that. The best thing is desricribed above, as low as possible and gentle pull up.

If the tick is engorged, you're probably infected get to the Dr ASAP. They all carry diseases.

I've had Lyme 2x, once 16 years ago and another 14 years ago. Both along the shore. I pulled a tick from me a month ago, luckily a negative model.

Be adamant about this we live in prime territory for exposure.

ordered some cedarcide

thanks for the tips

after 7 weeks rain here theres lots of em

Wow, this thread has got pretty disturbing, so I will add fuel to the fire and another reason to protect yourself. Has anyone on heard of the Powassan virus. I going to hand this off to boot man.

DEET versus Permethrin as a Tick Repellent

Powassan is currently the most dangerous of the tick borne vectors. Kills people yet some have no effect from it. 2 cases reported on the Cape this week.

The virus can be transmitted quickly upon attachment. (I believe they all can, but the CDC SAYS LYME IS 24-48 hours. But none of the cowards are willing to have a disease laden tick attached for 1 hour. Shouldn't be an issue, if it's so safe, right?)

got my Cedarcide spray today
wicked fast delivery time-....wow!

mini bottle comes with
for use on SKIN
gonna test it now as a pesky fly repellant

Havent seen a deer tick in years...

I found 2 just yesterday in RI, one was attached to my 8 year old son (came off easy... im thinking 1-3 hours max)

I am super paranoid now.

I am looking at buy PERMETHRIN to treat clothing, and something for the lawn and yard... any experiences? suggestions? I had lyme disease 2 summers ago

prevention is as important as a repellent imho

your kids have to learn the routine of getting out of
possibly tick infested clothes and getting inspected.
