    If anyone wonders how bad ticks are here in PA, this is a pretty good indicator. This is the cape off my buck from last fall. All those little black spots are tick bites. Spray down with Sawyers and shower after you get out of the woods folks.

    Makes my skin crawl just thinking of the little devil crawlers… never used the Sawyers. Wonder if that has permethrin in it like the spray I use?

    That is what Sawyers is. And for the love of Pete, read the directions. It goes on your clothes, not your skin. Hahaha!

    Also keep it and clothes away from your pets cats. . Avoid wild barberry brush in the woods it is a favorite over wintering /spring bush for ticks
