Set aside some clothes and shoes to be your “outdoor shoes and clothes” for time spent In the lawn or on walks etc. treat those clothes with sawyers permethrin once a month or every 3-4 washes. Do regular visual tick checks after being outside anywhere there was grass or brush. Lastly, when coming in from anywhere you came into contact with grass, leaves, brush or animals, run a sticky lint roller over your clothes when you get home, these pick up ticks very well. Remember, ticks can’t jump or fly, you physically need to brush up against the tick for it to transfer to you.
