A bit late in the year to really help anyone but...this stuff was recommended to me by a local Jackpine Savage last year so I went looking for it early last spring. I'd have to say that it works remarkably well.

Combine this with treating your hunting cloths with Permethrin first (and allowing it to dry) and then use this product on your exposed skin. I would have had an almost bite-free year this year (if only I had followed my own advice). On one of my last days afield up north, it had frosted very heavily overnight and I put on lined jeans that I had not pre-treated. There were no obvious insects to be found anywhere and I passed on this stuff too, only to find myself in the middle of a deep tangle looking for a bird that had "towered" on me (I never did find it). What I did find the next morning was an embedded tick on my chest.

A prophylactic dose of doxycycline immediately thereafter and it all seems to be good for now. How foolish of me, eh?

The folks who work in the woods that I'm hunting in "up nort" swear by it. I had to order it online as I've never encountered it anywhere else.
