When working around the farm, I spray my pants legs (knees down) and boots with a light mixture of malathion, about a quart bottle cap full to 1 gallon of water, then poured into a spray bottle. That mixture kills red bugs, ticks and fleas on contact. You can also use that mixture as a dog dip, even cutting it to a cap in two gallons seems to work OK on a dog.
