Already have the permethrin spray on my boots and wood cutting clothes. The ticks have been out in force this year already. We have taken at least 6 off our dog and had one attached to me. It gets worse every year
I have some stuff sprayed but will do more, the wife will need more clothing sprayed too.
 
We use a lint roller on our clothes and the dog when we come in from a walk, today the wife had one tick on the lint roller from the bottom of here pants, none for the dog. This is the first tick since the snow left the trails that came off on the lint roller.

We do use Permethrin but we haven't sprayed a lot of our clothing yet.
Plan on respraying clothes today with permethrin. 2 sets of pants, socks, t shirts, long sleeve shirts, hats, and shoes.
