Permethrin?
What is the problem? All you need is a young nubile armed with a pair of tweezers to rummage around all the wobbly bits. Roll Eyes

I know you are only supposed to use it on clothes, not skin, but can you use it on close-fittng garments, like socks, or underwear? Ticks seems to like the waistband of my underwear and my hind end, as well as around my lower legs.

How's the best way to treat one's clothes, and how do you keep from getting in trouble with it? Is it not toxic to humans after it dries?


I do.

Also, spray the clothes and then I put them in a plastic bag for a day or so to prevent drying so everything has a chance to get saturated.

Then dry.

It is usually good for 5-10+ washings.
