Tick Repellant

Being out at the farm a lot, one usually picks 2 or 3 ticks off oneself every couple of day. That has not been a problem the past 2 weeks.  I'm in the tall weeds and grass and it is wet out. Skeeters still tend to like me.  The only thing I can figure is what I'm doing this time of year. Same pattern emerges over past 3 years. I'm harvesting roughly 2-3 cases of garlic every couple of days. Ticks must not like the taste on my skin, or not like being around the plants.

We had a guy come and spray for ticks at work because they were terrible this year. His all natural spray was based on garlic juice. He claimed an 60% reduction in ticks with the natural spray. He also had a chemical spray which he used at our place and claimed 90%. It worked but would have rather he used the natural one.
