It is pretty bad up here in NH now. I know several people who have/had Lyme. Also, almost all outdoor dogs eventually get it around here.
We treat our yard with permethrin. I spray my outdoor work clothes and boots with it too. We also put down diatenatius earth at least a couple times a season. Plus I always have a few cans of Deep woods off or Cutter around.

“Plus I always have a few cans of Deep woods off or Cutter around.”

Add Picaridin to your supplies. It’s just as effective as DEET based products and doesn’t stink. It comes in liquid or lotion form. We prefer the lotion.

We’ve been using it all summer. It works.

Add in Lupus, niece live’s in the Smokies, and she has both Lupus and Lyme’s, the worst form of Lupus, her organs are beginning to fail. Lungs, Liver, Kidneys are all trashed. There has to be a better treatment than Plaquenil a anti-malaria drug to treat it, sure doesn’t do her any good. The Dizzy spells cause lots of Concussions. All it got her was labeled a Street Junkie despite never failing a P test.
