Hi

I was in my garden the other day and come across a tick, I was 100%
sure it was a tick and when I checked online I was 110% sure lol

But now its put my g/f off letting our son in our garden, I need to do
something that will kill any bugs like that etc.

does any one know what I can do?

Thank you




Look for garden sprays effective against ticks. Use DEET and long
clothing, tight fitting around hands and feet. Most important to me is
taking a shower afterwards or at least once a day. I spend a lot of
time in the woods in the fall hunting and have seen deer ticks on my
clothes. Lots of my friends have contacted Lymes disease but not me.
Study here a couple of years ago showed practically all deer to have
deer ticks and maybe half the ticks carried Lymes disease. Deer ticks
are said to feed and drop off and most the time you do not even know it.
Often bullseye rash is a sign of Lymes disease. Don't think its carried
by the much larger dog ticks.
