Yeah the tics are out of hand, I pulled one off my leg last week. Our dog has Lyme disease. She had the liquid medicine you put on her back, well she swims everyday in our pond when it's hot out. The Vet says, "you can't let her swim, it'll wash the meds off". She got the antibiotics, and now takes the oral med for tics. You can't keep that dog out of the water. Just a heads up for dog owners.Last winter a friend of mine went out grouse hunting after a snow storm. He hiked a big loop way up the hill, got home and did the check. Yup 3 tics, walking in deep snow. Relentless bugs....
Can anyone pinpoint what type of brush or trees ticks prefer? Or are they just everywhere?
Trees , brush , tall grass , iow grass , leaf litter , there everywhere.. .
