[QUOTE="wis bang, post: 162096, member: 3796"] Since the 0.5% concentration in the commercial products was approved for sale to treat clothing & the 2.5% Ortho Product [97.5% inert stuff] was approved for treating one's yard...I think one would be prudent to stick w/ the 0.5% solution. I can tell you after a day of sitting on the ground while turkey hunting using the Repel and then the home diluted stuff, I find ONLY dead ticks... You don't need it to be any stronger, the stuff stays effective on your clothes for two weeks even if you wash them! DEET does not repel ticks. It is a repellent for alot of bugs but not ticks... Ticks give you Lyme disease [and alot of other nasties] so the ONLY good tick is a dead tick...I had the bullseye rash and the antibiotic treatment once. I don't want to go thru it again. [/QUOTE]
