Deet vs. Ticks: Snow Creek Wall

[telemarker]

It's no contest. Deet kicked the tick's ass. In fact, when I sprayed deet directly on ticks, it took less than 2 minutes for them to die. And oh, how I did laugh. I swore I could hear their tiny wails of agony, which made me chuckle even harder.

 

I may have inhaled toxic amounts of this carcinogen today and rendered all my nylon slings unusable, but there was not one blood sucking arachnid on my person.

love that stuff. Keep it reasonably far away from nylon though, and plastic. It melts plastic.

 

Despite it's toxicity, I can verify that it will not hurt your unborn children either. The wife and I were climbing Silent Running...but that is a story for another day.
