I couldn't agree more with you!!!!
They are EVERYWHERE! I love being in the woods [fishing, hunting, walking], but that's all changed now. We need to find something that EATS them. Come to think of it - they kind of look like lentils??! Maybe we could create a demand for lentil soup?

We've had pretty good luck with Front Line keeping them off the dogs. As long as it's applied at the proper intervals. We weren't that dilligent with it---until my wife wound up in Cape Cod Hospital for 3 days last summer with babesiosis.

Most of the nasties are carried by deer ticks, not the common dog tick. But you might want to talk to your doctor about some antibiotics anyway, just to be on the safe side.

Tick bites itch a little but they shouldn't hurt like that--you might have left the head on you.

ticks are spread by mice. Take some empty TP tubes and stuff them with cotton balls you rolled in Sevin Powder. The mice make a nest with cotton and the sevin kills the ticks.

Flea and tick powder is just sevin dust (possible weakened). so if you have a dog that lays in the same spot on the ground all the time yo can sprinkle some sevin dust there to kill the ticks...
