Hi everyone! OK how many of you have had at least 1 tick on you this year? I haven't had any bite me yet, but just today one was crawling on me and I flicked it off. And a few days ago, another one was crawling on my shoe and I flicked that one off, too. They are everywhere, now that we are living in a house that is surrounded by pine trees! Now we really have to check our yellow lab, Dawson, for ticks more often because last year he had Lyme Disease. I hate ticks!
Oh good heavens...I find at least one per day climbing up my pant leg or trying to get on my neck from my sleeve. I hate them. I swear I am going to get flock of guinea one day.
We have had them like crazy here in N Florida. We have all found them on us and I just had to have my oldest tested for Lyme last week! Thankfully it was negative..... They are disgusting, vile little creatures. My guineas can't even keep up with them
When you find them crawling, the best way to "dispatch" them is to get a peice of tape and lift it off. Then fold the tape over the tick and throw it away. I aways have some scotch tape nearby when tick season arrives!
We've had a ton of ticks down here in S. Florida too. My poor dogs, we're forever pulling them off them. I hate ticks too! Gross! Just thinking about them, makes me itch!!
