Not legal in Canada. Then again there's few ticks in Canada's north, so Canadian hikers should just explore the northern part of their provinces.

- Pxtl 9y agoYes, but Lake Huron has some of the best dunes and freshwater beaches in Canada. It'd be hard to give that up.
- vlan0 9y agoMight need to carry a flame thrower for the black flies though!
- overcast 9y agoThat's unfortunate, I still spray before I leave to hike in Banff from the US though :)
- jammur 9y agoNot legal to sell, but legal to possess. I go across the border and stock up at REI in Bellingham. No problems bringing it back across. Apparently this is quite common for lower mainland residents. When I brought 4 big bottles of the stuff up to the register, the first thing they asked was if I was Canadian.
- Tiktaalik 9y agoAh yeah that's a good distinction that I should have made. I think I read somewhere that it's used by the Canadian Forces as well, but not made available to civilians.
- jammur 9y agoI wonder why you can't sell it here. They even recommend it on the government's travel site: https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/health-safety/insect-bite https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/health-safety/insect-bite
