Mosquito and Tick Repellant- Ranger Ready

[Anonymous]

Has anyone used the Ranger Ready repellents, and if so, were they effective?

We live in Columbia and go on walks on the trails pretty much daily. Ticks arent a huge concern since we do daily baths/checks (he is a sweaty boy and messy eater ) but he is getting welts from the one of two mosquito bites he has gotten.

Last year he was still in a stroller and we used netting over so this wasnt an issue. Nowadays, we have to run him ragged in the afternoon so outside is a must. We dont have an private outdoor space so spraying the area is not an option.

If you have any suggestions for mosquito and tick spray- please let me know!

Also, does anyone treat their kids shoes with the permethrin as a preemptive step?

This comes up again and again.

Use a spray with deet or picardin.

Anything else is snake oil.

The end.

So i guess the answer is no you havent tried it and/or dont know what it is since it is 20% picardin.

Thanks for the general knowledge. Was looking for specific experiences.
