Tea Tree Oil.
Went for hike last year with Wife and dog... Wife said "put this tea tree oil on your socks" before we left. *eye roll* - "Get away from me with that snake oil woman" (not really, but you get the idea).
Finished hike, dog = 0, wife = 0, Me = Approx. 20+ ticks crawling in/under/around and over. Almost considered just burning my pants in the parking lot.
I now use the snake oil when suggested. :)
Tea tree oil also works on nail fungi, supposedly. For me, it's about as bad as patchouli; =I= don't want to be near it, either. :B
