Hey Fishwife, sounds like you guys are in "heaven" with your new digs. Here in Missouri we call those peskey little things "seed ticks". Sooooooooooooo small you can barely see them, but do they ever carry a wallop. We use yellow sulfer powder in an old nylon stockin, and "slap" our legs and upper body with the powder before we go out. Seems to do the job, and it works well on chiggers too. Just a thought! And, as a side note, having a "tick check" once in a while ain't all bad either, if you know what I mean. Heeheeeee!!!!!! Just funnin'with ya.. Good luck with your project. Jim
