I'm finally cured it was a walk or should I say crawl through h- - l . One was when they transplanted Turkey's they were not treated to kill parasites they spread deer ticks to places they never were. Two is the demise of the redfox due to coyotes the redfox was the #1 predator of the white footed mouse which carries tbdiseases they myphes need mice to survive I could talk on this forever maybe longer. But anyhow that's it for now and that's my story and I'm sticn with it Maybe ticks are carrying coronavirus, Oh no we have people for that ! Maybe migratory birds have picked up a few hitchhiking deer ticks.

We put out toilet paper tubes stuffed with cotton soaked in permetherin around the 80 we camp on. It significantly cut down on the tick we find. The idea is mice are the first blood meal of most ticks and the mice find and use the cotton in their nests and get dosed every time they enter. We have done it two years and it seems to be quite effective although I cant prove it scientifically. So take it for what it's worth. that is a good idea we had a tick problem at the rifle range sandy soil overhead shelter I would come hoem with 2-3 ticks often, I mixed up a concentration of Permethrin 2 gallon sprayer and sprayed the range shelter and concrete and about 4 feet off the concrete pad we started seeing a lot fewer. I spray my outer layer of clothing with the permethrin Solution also and have not come home with a tick since the permethrin I use is found in the veterinary isle at the farm store 10% or 13% concentrate not expensive at all makes many gallons of solution. America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Garry- I'm only about 45 minutes east, and I can count on one hand the ticks I've seen the last several years. I can't explain the difference, but I rarely find one these days.

I am amazed at some of the diseases people contract that is as a result of a tick whether directly being bitten or some other incidental exposure to a tick. We are told not to judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but are told to judge all gunowners by the actions of a few.

That and a good burn not only stimulates new growth, but kills ticks too. Both things are banned for the average person.
