I understood that icaridin/picaridin is made to resemble piperonal =
butoxide (pepper) where the pyrethroids are supposed to be =
from=E2=80=94or like=E2=80=94the pyrethrin daisy. Of course, I =
don=E2=80=99t know the chemistry. Is picaridin a pyrethroid, then?

When I am in the "right place at the right time" to get black-legged =
ticks, especially the nymphs, I use a combination of light coloured (so =
I can see ticks), pyrethroid-treated clothing and a personal =
insecticide with pyrethrin or pyrethroids (synthetic analogues of =
pyrethrin) to ward them off.
=20
This summer I began using the Piactive product. I was walking some =
clearcuts in early July with a colleague who had sprayed exposed skin =
but had untreated clothing. Walking the same route, he picked up 5 =
black-legged ticks, I picked up none. =20
=20
The Piactive product (which contains icaridin, a pyrethroid) is said to =
be good for 12 hours; it doesn't smell bad like Deet, nor does it =
dissolve some synthetic clothing as Deet does.
=20
Regardless of whether I have been wearing treated clothing & using the =
personal insecticide I am always on the lookout for ticks on my skin =
when I shower.
=20
So far so good.

I don't use a repellent for ticks as they are present around my yard and =
I would have to apply it every time I go outside. I have tried Piactive =
for mosquitoes & black flies, it is 20% Icaridin and seems to be =
comparable to deet. The label states that it is also effective for Ticks =
so I suspect it would provide some protection.

I=E2=80=99m curious. Do you folks spray with deet? I=E2=80=99ve been =
using picaridin this summer and last, but I haven=E2=80=99t gotten any =
ticks on me yet. Luck?
