Squirrels for some present a problem but does anyone have problems
with deer
ticks and its associated Lyme desease?.....H

Scotland has a huge deer population, and Lyme disease is a risk in
areas and occupations where people pick up ticks frequently. AFAIK,
squirrels here are not a vector in the disease's host cycle (nor are
dogs or cats, even though they get bitten by deer ticks).

Thanks Janet.....I do not have deer in my garden area but I do have the
ticks....on 30 days of antibiotics as "one got me"...suspect before 'we
intruders' moved into this area deer roamed ... maybe not the antelope
tho....H
