They make it in 2 sizes that’s not in a spray can and I usually get the big one, supposed to treat 5 sets of clothing. I hang clothes outside and spray them. Let them dry completely before wearing them. Wash them in cold water. Shouldn’t need to retreat for 5-6 washings. Wear long sleeve’s and jeans along with face mask and gloves when applying. When applying leave outside until dry.
Won't you be breathing it in on the face mask ? Just wondering It sounds like it's nasty 🇺🇸🎣😎👍

Carroll reported, “A source who worked on Plum Island in the 1950s recalls that animal handlers and a scientist released ticks outdoors on the island. They called him the Nazi scientist, when they came in, in 1951—they were inoculating these ticks.”

Thanks, Rut!
Just ordered two of the 24 oz. pump bottles from Amazon. (Sawyer brand) I’ve heard of this stuff, but never tried it.
It seems this stuff should be safer than the
60-100% Deet that’s in the “Repel” I’ve been using. Also I won’t have to apply as often.
Thanks again, buddy!

My wife helped at a fundraiser yard sale last week--she and several others came back with ticks. Never happened before!

Just found one crawling on my head. It was tickling what little hair I have left.
They're hard buggers to kill. I usually cut them in half.

Not hard at all to kill Ted just put them on anything glass like an ashtray. Then light up a lighter and poof, they are cooked. I’ve even had a few pop!
