If you are smart, you buy a quart of permethrin and some cotton gauze, some small cut up rags and a bunch of cardboard tubes. Soak the cotton and rags and stuff in the tubes and leave them along stone walls, under sheds or near any place that you know mice live. The mice will grab this stuff for their nests and then the permethrin will start doing its job and will start killing any deer ticks that attach to them. Over a year or 2 you can totally collapse a tick population in your area by doing this. Mice and other small rodents are the number one vehicle for the spread of Lyme.
