My wife has had Lyme for 8 years now... so i know what I'm talking about.
1. The ticks are likely traveling on the mice/squirrels at your feeder. They can get Lyme from deer, mice and other rodents.
2. Frontline is NOMINALLY effective. The best stuff is called Proticall(sp). It has permethine(sp) in it which kills ticks w/in 24 hours. Plus it deters them from getting on your pet.
3. DEET is a joke (although I use it as an adjunct). Get a spray with permethines(sp) in it. you spray your CLOTHES, let them dry and the stuff lasts a few weeks.
4. Lyme is GENERALLY easy to cure... However, some people (like my wife) are very difficult. She has been on antibiotics for YEARS including IV for 9 months or so. If I had her life I'd have taken a bullet by now.
I'm not afraid of much. Lyme/ticks scares the living hell out of me
