I'm sorry, but permethrin is really nasty stuff, toxic for all insects (including bees f.e) and aquatic life.
Smidge will prevent, DEET (which is nasty as well in fact) will prevent, gaiters will prevent, etc.
And simply do the tick check every evening, especially armpits, kneepits, crutch & crack, etc.
Only a small percentage is carrying Lymes' , but with global warming, this percentage will grow.
