Thick as fleas on a rabbit. Can’t walk 50 yards without picking one up these days. Rumor has it that this year is supposed to be one of the worst ever.
I keep desperately hoping that one day someone will call me "Sir" without adding "please calm down" or "you're causing a scene."

We never saw a tick around here till a couple years ago. You're from North West Ohio? I live in Bowling Green, which is pretty much North West , Ohio, and we have had ticks around here for 40 years.
My name ain't Keith

Clearing my property on the eastern shore a couple weeks ago and I pulled 18 out of me (already bitten) in just over three hours on a Friday. Burned half a can of repellant on that Sunday and only got one more.
Headaches kicked in this past week. Three weeks now and one welt still the size of a ping-pong ball and red/swollen. Dr. says Lymes again.
I hate them little bastages...
April is autism awareness month. Nearly 1 in every 100 children are born with an autism spectrum disorder.. 1 in 100. Stop and think about it...please

I was pulling 2-3 a day off when I went to a certain location , sprayed all my clothing in Permethrin and didn't pull another one off myself.
I need to retreat my clothing again.
while I have the sprayer out I hit the foundation of the house the front and back steps around the garage.
I also have treated the yard around the house with Ortho Bug-B-Gone spray that hooks up to the hose this is another form of Permethrin.
I don't like using chemicals like this but it is about as low risk as I am going to get and better spray than have ticks right around the house.

Permethrin has my vote as well.

Going to be lot here, already had to deal with 20+ so far (turkey hunting/ADC beaver) included but get a few around the house. Would of had more but the chickens help keep them under control.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Anyone ever try this recipe? I have used straight vinegar with some success not 100% protection but does seem to help.
I have use straight vinegar and seems to help not 100& In a spray bottle, mix 2 cups of distilled white vinegar and 1 cup of water. To make a scented solution so you do not smell like bitter vinegar all day, add 20 drops of your favorite essential oil or bath oil. Eucalyptus oil is a calm, soothing scent that also works as a tick repellent, while peppermint and citrus oils give off a strong crisp scent that also repel ticks. After mixing the solution, spray onto clothing, skin, and hair before going outdoors. Reapply every four hours to keep ticks at bay.
