It does work a little, but it's even more effective to just get some chickens. I did find permethrin works great on clothing - when I used to go hunting a lot I'd get ticks on me every time, and the thing is they climb off of your boots in the car and go under the seats or wherever so you don't get bitten until three days later when you're driving back from grocery shopping or whatever. After I started using permethrin and sprayed the floor of my car with it I never saw another tick again.

Chickens are very effective at removing ticks, but “just” getting some chickens is a little bit more work than tossing tubes outside.

That's like saying "to stop having to weed the garden just get some goats"

Wow this is extremely insightful. I need to spray my car floor since I live in tick country.
