Ticks!!!!

[ducks4you]

My chickens will eat ANY insect that lives in my backyard, both dead and alive. Pull them off of you with a pair of tweezers and offer it to one of your birds, and find out.

I'M miffed because I set up a Japenese beetle trap too late (in the bird's pen, minus the bag) AFTER they tried to eat all of the leaves on my new grape vine, and NOW, they're beyond the fence attacking my neighbor farmer's soybean crop!! DXXX!!!!!!!

Got ticks? GET GUINEAS!! I have had guineas for almost a year, and the tick problem has dissapeared completely. It takes about a dozen for them to do their job right though. But they make more noise than most are willing to listen to! Hope this helps,

I'm very careful with the Sevin dust. I have had the same container for about 5 years now. I only use it if I absolutley have to. Actually picked and cooked swiss chard last night. I'll take the bug holes over the pesticides anyday.

When I first read that a product called Eight was out I thought someone was pulling my leg! Who can tell me more about Eight?
