Well I spent 12 hours outside yesterday cleaning flower beds, trees, etc around yard and pond. I was hoping I would get by without one little visitor as we just started getting warm weather here. The mighty tick showed up!
Is there anything out there I can get to keep these nasty critters off me and out of my hair. I absolutely hate getting these on me and feel like once I find one they're crawling on me. Oh, how I hate ticks. Thanks.

Wow, ticks get alot of press on the PB forum. Unfortunately, I can see why...they are creepy little buggers.
Last year, we did not find a single one...none. It was really weird and unusual since we were working in the woods and brush alot all year. This year, yesterday, 2 for Dski and 1 for me.

Mark, some derogatory things have been said about them on other threads, but I have always heard that guineas are the go to source for tick removal.

I just read where OFF with DEET works...to take a little and rub in your hair and neck/ear areas (not face) and down by your pants. by your feet. I have really long hair so I must have brushed agsint something. Also, I thought about it, my hubby drug me to go mushroom hunting in the morning (no luck); maybe I picked it up there. I told him no more mushroom hunting for me.  Going work in the yard again...i am so deadly afraid of ticks on me, more than any bugs out there.

Most of our ticks dried up and blew away. I'm a fatalist. It's either bug bites or concrete in town.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
