Tick Season!

So TRUE! Asked wife to check and NOPE!

So true. My war on ticks and poison ivy has begun. I just found the first fire ant mound as well.

I feel this year is going to be very bad. I've had many ticks already. As far as ants. I've hated ants for many many years. The poison to use is ortho or thene.

Ticks were the single biggest reason that I stopped bowhunting here on Long Island. You couldn't walk 20ft into the woods without picking up a load of them. I was spraying my camo with a ton of Permethrin (sp) but eventually came to the conclusion that spraying poison on myself, on a regular basis, may be more hazardous than Lyme disease or any of the other nasty things that ticks carry.

Bringing harvested deer home that were LOADED with deer ticks also became a reason for concern.

For your yard use Bifen and Ten-guard, mix as directed.
I put them both in the same sprayer.
It will nuke ticks, fleas. Termites, spiders ect.
Usually only have to do this once a year

You should see the ticks on a Cape buffalo - their scrotum is covered with them.

Why would anyone look at animal scrotum? Asking for a friend.

I was diagnosed with alpha gal last year due to a tick bite, can no longer eat mammalian meat. Definitely a life changer. Now I check myself and the kids every time we come inside.

Some make good mittens

I use a Stihl backpack blower sprayer and Bifenthrin to attack all them blood suckers. My neighbors probably think I'm nuts. Hazmat garb with mask fogging all around the yard and edge of the woods.

We don't have many ticks here in Wyoming, so it's not a problem most of the time. There is a young lady just down the road that I might check for ticks if she asked me to.

Stihl backpack sprayer with Talspar from "Do it yourself " website . Repels everything from mosquitoes to scorpions . I wear the 3M face shield filter system with the tyvek suits .

My neighbors never complain but wonder why there is no bugs !
