Ticks, Ticks and more Ticks
"madgardener" wrote in message .. . honey, the ticks are also on the BIRDS, and the ticks drop outa the trees onto me........I saw a show on the preditor bugs that likes blood on Discovery, and the ticks literally hang on the ends of grasses waiting for some unsuspecting warm blooded whatever to brush thru the grasses to land....they have little grappling hooks for feeties.....and as I was walking to the car UNDER the black cherry tree, THREE ticks dropped onto me from above, no cats or dog up THERE! g madgardener again............ I know! Starting to think the little suckers (really!) are gonna take over the world. As a matter of fact they do have little suction cup like feet. That must be why they can awake me from a sound sleep by dancing across my arm. Judy "Lar" wrote in message . .. In article , says... We use flea and tick drops on the dogs. We have 3 dogs now. Apparently the drops don't deter the ticks from getting on the dogs. If you sit on the porch and swing, the dogs will come over and need a pat. You can SEE the friggin ticks walking around on their fur, the only dead ones are the ones that are attached. You might check in at your local farm co-op or county extension agency to see if you can get info on a procedure that places stations around the property and as the mice go in and out there will be a wick fed liquid, such as what you apply by drops to your dogs that will reduce the tick population that is helped spread by the mice. -- Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
