Bruce,


I am 10 miles from Lyme, CT and my 
property abuts a deer filled State park & 
marsh. After a lot of research I found the 
best option for me is to spray my yard 
with Permethrin. Here in CT you can't get 
the high concentration version but you can 
in 48 other states including Maine.

I bought it in Rhode Island and mix 1 Oz 
with 1 gal water & spray it with a Scotts 
two gallon pump tank. It's fantastic for 
ants & ticks, I do the entire lawn and 
when I go to my antennas, I spray the area 
and come back a couple hours later and 
it's safe to work in.


I spray my outdoor clothes with the .05% 
mixture, let it dry so it's safe and it 
kills ticks and not me. You can buy the 
.05% at Walmart in the sporting goods 
section to spray on your clothes & I 
understand LL Bean sells clothing that is 
impregnated with it for hikers & the like.


Great stuff...


73,
