Larry,

I'm a primary target for any tick within 50 yards of a path.  What kind/brand of mouthwash?  An ounce of prevention (mouthwash) is probably worth a pound of masking tape cure!

Chris and Mobirders -

I have used mouthwash as a tick and

chigger deterrent for a couple of summers now.  Great success! 

Try it.  Environmentally safe too as far as I know.

I have a spray plastic bottle in the trunk that I carry all of the time.

Good birding,  Larry Herbert, Joplin MO.
