Gold Member EvilBird Posted July 24, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted July 24, 2023 ticks seem about the normal amount around my house. But when I was up in NH they were real bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted July 24, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted July 24, 2023 Ticks seem about normal here always have at least one on one of us if we go out in the woods. We’ve yet to have any attached this year just crawling around but we’re pretty good about doing a thorough check when we get back inside.

This is the 1st year since moving to VT that we've had them on us and the dog. The cold winters are what I think has kept them down here in the past 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 They've been heavy by us in Northern Wisconsin. When I go to the trout stream guaranteed to have them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat45 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 They're bad by me too. I treat the clothes i wear in the woods with Permethrin. Works great and kills most of the little bastards before they get to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 My mom has had Lymes since 1989 , it has been really tough on her. My dad just got diagnosed with it 2 days ago. It has been wreaking havoc on his joints and they’ve struggled to diagnose it with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin_dry Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I haven’t left wooded areas in weeks. Can’t say I found one tick. Back in May the ticks were insane. I pulled a dozen off my dog’s hard over the course of a week. They do go through hatching cycles so maybe we’re heading back into another round. Yuck.

I didn’t know that the sawyer brand is safe for dogs as will, although it can kill a cat. I sprayed my lab back in may after a major tick infestation. I never found another tick on him. Used the instructions my vet gave me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
