Wood ticks

[Fracman]

I went out to check the beaver traps only thing I found was woodticks. Me and Fracman jr. Found a bunch I stopped counting at 35 I would guess we were close to 60 between the two of us. We were out only 30 mins. I have never seen anything like it.

Sounds like my "back yard". We got a serious problem this year. I blame global warming.

I blame lack of big hot fire

Sounds like a white Tyvek suit and duct tap type of area. It's a bit creepy when you look over and see how many are crawling up as you walk.

I have had some success in reducing (not eliminating) the amount of ticks with a good dose of insect repellant on lower body before going out. Especially spray on boots and lower legs. Then again having a few ticks is a good reason to have your wife check the nethe-rlands of your body after you get out of the shower.

Use insect repellent

With this weather they are going back into hibernation only to return again later.

Ticks hate the smell of hops. Drink hoppy beer and no ticks. You're welcome.

Cinnamon and Garlic pills, I've taken 2 a day with my other Meds for several years now, they don't like me

something special about 35+ ticks. High deet on lower pants and boots unless you are Dem.liberial then nothing you"ll be fine.

this snow should reduce a good population of bugs this summer
