TWISTEDWILLOW Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Lol, tick talk! That’s a good one Scott! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Lyme disease is nasty. About 6-7 years ago one of them bit my mom on top of her foot and left that ring. I assumed she got it out at the farm and never could understand why it never got me. I did a lot of thrashing around in the weeds and sticks and pulled quite a few off myself.

Frosty Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I've lived here going on 50 years and the only fleas or ticks we see come in with tourist's dogs and such. Hopefully fuel prices will come down enough Deb and I will be able to do some snow birding in the RV. I'm going to have to be really vigilant about fleas and ticks, I'm so out of practice I might not notice until after I have a bug. Be sure to write down the time and place when you use the tape trick, Scott. You want to be a good tick talk tape recorder. Hmmm? Frosty The Lucky.

Glenn Posted July 15, 2023 Author Share Posted July 15, 2023 First tic of the season today. Was not attached yet, but was looking for a place to bite and have a meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les L Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 The utility company I retired from had workers in Arkansas, in an area that had a large tick problem, the employees placed tic/flea collars for dogs on their boots for prevention. It worked very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Good idea Les. Couldnt hurt to try other than the price for the good ones. But in all honesty, it is worth Way more to Not get limes. Found a few on me a month or so ago but not dug in thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that, they don't work for our dogs. We use Frontline plus on the big dog and Simparica on the little guy, both Vet recommended. This year I messed up and didn't treat my clothing with Sawyer insect repellent, one tick bite and about a dozen chigger bites reminded me to treat them. I was going by what the directions said it lasts through 6 washings, don't believe that. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sails.
