You can purchase pre-treated clothes, hats, and other items from recreational retailers. While this treated clothing might be a bit more expensive than untreated clothing, if you are going to be enjoying the outdoors frequently in months when ticks are active, the extra protection is worth the cost.

To buy clothing and gear that has been pre-treated with permethrin, visit the following retailers:

• REI

• Dick’s Sporting Goods

• Cabela’s

• L.L. Bean

• Rusted Moon

• Insect Shield

• Lymeez Tick Gear
