Ticks?

[Kat]

My local farm stores carry an  Permetherin based bug spray that last for 1 month. At the farm stores is made for animals like horses and dogs. At REI and Exoffico clothing company it is made for bug repellent clothing and gear. It works great for the goats and lasts a long time if you don't wash it off.

Thanks! I actually do use Permethrin  on my hiking clothes, says it's good for 6 weeks but I also put Deet on top of it. I frequent lakes so lots of mosquitoes in early summer.

I tried Zonk-It on the goats last year (permethrin), it did OK but I think the Ultrashield EX was better overall for mosquitoes and flies, has also worked well for us when horsepacking into buggy areas.  For the goats I've also been carrying a roll-on with us to do their face/upper neck areas - have only had to do that once or twice.
