  • Do these work better than the coil burning?

    • DEET works for ticks and leeches. So does Picaridin. I doubt walking about with burning coils will keep them off you. Coils for mossies. If you want something effective in the bush, DEET or Picaridin sprays are a better choice. Make sure you read the instructions.

      • Thanks never seen ticks and leeches before.

        Do they latch onto humans in daytime aswell or just night time?

        • Any time you are outside, but the presence of each depends where you live. We get both. Plus Midges.

          Some leeches favour being in water. Others live in a damp environment. We get them after a lot of rain. Possums, Brush Turkeys, etc seem to be the delivery system. I even had one latch on cleaning leaves out of roof gutters one day. There's a map on this link https://australian.museum/learn/animals/worms/leeches/

          Ticks most get on you in long grass (can be grass in thick bushland). They hitch rides on mammals and birds.
          There are a few types: https://tickboss.com.au/types-of-ticks/
          My experience is with paralysis ticks: https://australian.museum/learn/animals/insects/australian-p…
          They spread diseases. If you live in paralysis tick country, you should learn about them.

          • @RogerLoger: Thanks

            Damn paralysis ticks sounds concerning

            • @ATTS: I've had more than ample dig in. They have barbed mouth parts, so if you try to pull them out, they vomit an extra large dose of poison into you. It's incredibly itchy. My first bout of 19 ticks took over 12 months for the itch to stop. You do build up degree of resistance. The larval ticks that got me a few days are almost settled now (they are seasonal - I missed the stage#1 larval stage start time and was on what I thought was a clear walking trail).

              Apart from the itch, they spread disease. From a tick bite, about 15 years ago I developed an allergy to red meat (every variety of mammal). It is not consistent, but a bit like playing Russian Roulette. Ea red meat, I sometimes get hives. Some people have a reaction so bad it will potentially kill them. They need to carry an EpiPen.

              So, if you are heading into grass in bushland in tick country, use Picardin or DEET spray. If hiking for quite a time, there are treatments you can get for clothing.

              • @RogerLoger: Thanks for that insight man

                If i was itchy for 12 months i would have gone crazy already

                So grateful to god i didnt get ticks the rare times i went bush walking.

                Seasonal, like just in winter?

                Crazy i couldn't live without red meat!

                Crazy with the epi pen

                Crazy im gonna just avoid bush completely from now on. Thanks!

                • @ATTS: Seasonal as in they'll bite at any of the growth stages.

                  You cannot see them in the larval stage (and probably won't develop meat allergy because they haven't bitten a host).

                  This should fill you in if you want to discover more:
                  https://allergyfacts.org.au/allergy/mammalian-meat/
                  Sydney, North is the hotspot for MMA.

                  I still get about trails without a lot of worry. It places where small animals may go and deposit ticks that are the problem. Ticks get on the grass to wait for their next host (i.e. brushing your arm on a bush shouldn't be a problem). Humans are not a good host for a tick.

                  You do get used to not eating mammal meat. Just as well. I keep getting a tick every year or few.

  • Oh hello Bali!

  • Stings under the pits and does nothing for body odour. 1 star

  • Does anyone know if it is safe to use around animals? Thanks

      Safe for most animals except things like mosquitos
