“Sadly, this product appears to be ineffective on ticks. We caught a dog tick crawling on the screen door and put in a bag with the sock. It was happy to crawl all over the sock and days later it appeared to be completely unaffected.
We put another tick put in a plastic bag with a sock that had been home-treated with permethrin spray the day before. That tick was dead in a couple hours - quickly enough that it could not have embedded itself in a person and done damage.
Fresh Permethrin works but this supposedly long-lasting Permethrin treatment does not appear to work as advertised. I cannot recommend it based on this testing.”
“These socks are very effective against ticks. But they only last me a short time because I always end up with a hole in the toe. I wish they were better quality amd had reinforced toes.”
“Given as gift to avid hiker, camper, outdoors person. Gift recipient very happy with product and exclaimed how well friend who has same type items, works wonderful! Recipient states they are comfortable as well.”
