Hello,
Has anyone tried EcoSMART Organic Insect Killer for Lawns?
We have a serious deer tick problem. My chickens free range during the day so I hate to put anything down that might hurt them but I have to do something about the deer ticks. One of the reasons we got chickens was to help with the ticks, they have done well with the larger ticks but the deer ticks are just too small. This is the first year I have not treated the yard for ticks, prior to treating the yard we had a young child with Lyme and two dogs with repeated Anaplasmosis infections. When we decided to get chickens we wanted to free range them so we could stop using chemicals. Now, I am literally picking deer ticks off my chickens faces (and my family) on a daily basis. If anyone has used the EcoSmart in the past, or has any other suggestions, please let me know.
Thank you!
PS: Guinea Hens are not an option where we live.
