Which BYC member scares you?

I hate ticks. My husband just pulled one off me.

Is it true that Guineas make quick work of ticks?

Is it true that Guineas make quick work of ticks?

It sure is! I have a bunch of guineas and haven't had a tick on me for over a year. The problem is my guineas have decided that they're going to go adventuring into the woods where they're not supposed to go and I've had to chase them out a few times over the last several days. Figured that's where I picked up the tick... Since the guineas don't typically eat there.

I have never seen a tick. Are there ticks in Houston? Guess not.

Do you live in Houston?

Do you live in Houston?

Ehh. Not for the past few years. It’s not that I don’t live there, more like, taking a prolonged Vacation.

But there’s literally nothing but mountains and scenery in WA, so I can’t expect to have seen a tick here.
