Consider carrying a small container full of rubbing alcohol — if you find a tick, you can throw it into this container to quickly kill it and make sure that it can’t bite anyone else. Something like an old small spice jar can work well for this purpose.
A sticky lint roller is your best friend — lightweight and easy to pack, a lint roller is a great way to grab any ticks that have found their way onto your clothing or your dog. Tweezers can be helpful for removing ticks, too.
Use Permethrin as a repellent and tick insecticide — Permethrin is a synthetic insecticide that repels ticks. Permethrin treated clothing reduces tick bites by 3-times. Plus, permethrin-treated clothing can last up to 1-year, even after washing multiple times.
