Ticks, Ticks and more Ticks
x-no-archive: yes
I would think rabbits and deer would be bigger vectors of ticks... that's a great idea regardless White footed mice are considered a major vector for ticks, hence the development of Damminix, the cardboard tubes with treated nesting material for mice. There have also been experiments with feeding stations for deer with rollers that apply a tick prevention chemical on the heads and necks of deer as they feed. Birds and squirrels, chipmunks are all carriers. One single tick bite can transmit numerous infections for which there is no reliable serological testing, and, often, no curative treatment, so prevention is very important. Guinea hens are known to have a voracious appetite for ticks, so some folks in tick infested areas buy them for that purpose. Susan |
