Can You Spot The Deer Tick? Video Shows You How To Prevent Bites
This short but essential video delivers an important message about deer ticks and simple steps you can take to protect yourself. It highlights just how incredibly tiny these ticks are—often no bigger than a poppy seed—making them easy to miss during outdoor activities. It also introduces Permethrin, a powerful tick repellent used to treat clothing and gear, as one of the most effective ways to stay protected.
You’ll also learn about two highly effective prevention strategies: tucking your pants into your socks to create a physical barrier and wearing clothing treated with Permethrin to help repel ticks before they can even latch on.
After seeing how easily ticks can cling to clothing and skin, we think you’ll quickly become a believer in the benefits of Permethrin-treated gear! It’s a small effort that can make a big difference in staying safe from tick-borne illnesses.
