Really Ticked!!!!

[Industrial Toys]

Funny, we haven't seen any here at all in UPPER UNCTON.

Plenty of ticks here in Missouri too. I took the dogs for their walk through our woods trail, then worked on our old Tri Moto Yamaha out in the drive. I came inside and rested awhile, and picked three ticks off of me, have plenty of chiggers too.

We have a ton of ticks in middle Tennessee. Besides Lyme disease, Google Alpha-gal meat allergy for a giggle.
This time of year I always wear long pants treated with Sawyers Permethrin and dog gets a Seresto collar. I've only pulled one tick off me this year. Got on my neck where there was no protection. I've been hunting and watched a tick on my treated trousers. Almost looked like it was on something hot. Couldn't get off fast enough. It works

We have more than our share in Mississippi. After a turkey hunt, I strip my clothes off in the garage. As a kid, I loved to fish in any hole with water. I would come home covered in ticks. Mom would make strip down to my underwear in the back yard and spray off with the water hose.

In past years I always used Frontline Plus. Out here with so much wind blown dust and dry dirt - the dog always had a "muddy spot" on his back from the Frontline. This year I'm using NexGuard chewable. Seems to work just as well and no greasy, muddy spot on his back.

We spray the farm with an insecticide from a tank in the UTV.
Then use Generic "Sentinel" we get mailed in from out of the country. {Ingestible}
Plus "Revolution" {Same company} for topical flea and tick control.
The little fur balls are better protected than their owner.
The Mrs. has a "No Bug Policy" that is non-negotiable

I work at the largest animal health pharmaceutical company in the galaxy. I must get enough of the residual stuff in my system through incidental contact with product on my hands or whatever but I don't have fleas, ticks, heartworms or intestinal parasites!

Ours just get meaner. And hungrier. Then along come the Chiggers to help.

I can remember picking ticks off of our farm dogs for fun. I had 2 old bricks. I would pick 4 or 5 off, then smash them in the bricks. We grew up checking ourselves in the bath for ticks every night. Always someone coming along for a ride. They dont bother me at all, but they sure make my wife uncomfortable .

Now Chiggers....I would burn a pasture down before I walk through it to get Chiggers again.

We've been using the Seresto collars on our 3 dogs for the last 2 or 3 yrs. It will kill a tick within 24 hours and fleas quicker even after 6 months. It is an insecticide but we like it better than pouring insecticide into our dogs' skin (or anything that requires gloves to administer). Washing with a flea/tick shampoo didn't work at all.

Permethrin is also a very strong product, but it works. I've heard ticks will dance a jig getting away from clothing sprayed with it.

I have been using Sawyer Picaridin to keep ticks and other bugs away. I'm very diligent about using it each time I go out to the farm since my wife has Lyme disease and get to see first hand what a nasty disease it is.
