I was nervous to deal with liquid insecticide (intense warning label) but I successfully treated my hiking clothes with Sawyer Permethrin Insect Repellant. I used the soak method, which involved using rubber gloves to dump the insecticide on my clothes inside large Zip-loc bags. The pants didn’t really soak up the liquid very well so sprayed them after as well. Once soaked, I hung them to dry on my back porch. 🤞🏼this works. Will test them out this weekend.

@andrewbriscoe I've only used the spray method. When I've used it on my shoes, it seems to keep the ticks away.

@bryanhansel Will probably spray next time. May do boots next. Matter if they are already filthy? I pray this works.

@andrewbriscoe I think they should be clean-ish before spraying the boots. I would think that hosing them down would be fine.
