Permethrin-treated boots
Treating boot uppers with permethrin is one of the highest-yield interventions because most ticks board at ground level.
Steps
schema.org/HowTo01
Spray boot uppers, laces, and tongue with 0.5% permethrin until lightly damp.
02
Air-dry fully before wearing - 2+ hours, longer for thick leather.
03
Re-treat after roughly six wettings or wash equivalents.
04
Pair with treated socks and tucked pants for a continuous lower-leg barrier.
