At one point I stopped every 5 minutes to brush dozens off my shoes and pants (overgrown trail perfect for questing). Despite being doused in repellant the ticks did not seem to care one bit, gladly crawling over shoes and pants that had been dripping with tick repellant spray. I could not even find a place to sit and fill out my survey questionnaire without constantly being swarmed. All in all, by the end of it, I removed well over 60+ ticks from my person (and I stopped counting quite early on, so there is no telling how many really). - Andy-V.
While updating our content page on Tick Bite Prevention, we learned about a direct injection, irrigation system applying cedar oil. Autobugg couldn't be reached. Dave, at Cedarcide, estimated tank spraying is most likely 1 to 12 dilution; while the "direct inject system" is most likely 1 to 1000. |
It would be more likely that a business sell and install the system for the homeowner and then the homeowner controls the system. Thus it is not a commercial pesticide application." - NYSDEC Pesticide Control Specialist
