Hello,
I am new to the Kingston area and after fighting with ticks this spring, I am getting guinea keets.
I come from the Waterloo area where we had the odd tick, this area where my new home is, is INFESTED. I do not even want to walk on the grass, which is kept short.
Daily picking ticks off my 5 dogs and myself. Dogs are on Symparica Trio but me, I'm unprotected tick food...I continue to ponder why big pharma has not rolled out a human vax for ticks.
Anyway, better days ahead with Guinea Fowl and sudden death to ticks.
I refuse to spray chemicals because I don't want to eradicate beneficial insects. I did put diatomaceous earth around house perimeter and dog run\dog yard.
The other 2.5 acres consist of beautiful forest and a pond.
Husband has said NO to ducks and that's just fine with me because I'd prefer to have geese anyway
really nasty geese that will chase strangers away
Need to build or buy a guinea home and came here seeking advice and the wisdom of people with more experience than me.
Cheers!
