Thanks for the idea. Rather brilliant. I spray my gardening and hiking clothing with permethrin. I have a huge jug and will try this.

<b>Subject:</b> [Lekooks] Tick control using Tick tubes</font>

<font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">
<div class="PlainText">Months ago, I read about a method to reduce the number of ticks on
<br>
one's property. You can buy ready made "tick tubes" OR make your own.<br>
It involves wetting dryer lint with liquid permethrin (a strong <br>
insecticide), then stuffing the lint into empty toilet paper tubes <br>
and placing them around one's yard where mice may be living.<br>
The theory is that the mice use the lint to make their nests and that <br>
the ticks who might be in the nests or on the mice will be killed by <br>
the permethrin.<br>
SO.........I bought a bottle of permethrin and saved up t.p. rolls <br>
and dryer lint. And there it's been sitting ever since!<br>
Long story short ~~ if any of you would like to try this tick <br>
prevention method, I'll give you all the stuff to make your own "tick tubes".<br>
Alternatively, if you could use the permethrin for something else, <br>
you can have my bottle, and I'll just recycle the rest.<br>
thanks,<br>
