3 dogs and 5 plates.................?????? Company coming?...................

 

Just pulled out a full one off Buddy.
Back to work tomorrow and will be picking up another round of Tick meds/collars

 

damm ticks. The one I found on Giz was full too. No way I'd be able to see it or feel it unless it was. Vet emailed us back saying Neosporin was fine to immediately put it on the area after the tick was pulled. That lump that was left was gone within a few hours. Good luck with the Bud man. I'm surprised the tick could even get hold of "the Blurr" as he went screaming by...

 

Darn ticks, they either suck your wallet or suck you blood. I rather go with the empty wallet because I live to fight another day. I switched over to avantix and advantage. The frontline no longer worked. Frontline just didn't keepthe tick and fleas away.

 

Found this.

And cleaning up the 5 acre yard is not an option!!

Guess he must of stopped for a squirt and got nailed stinny?

Ticks in Fall
Ticks have a complex two-year life cycle. The life stage most likely to bite humans in fall frequently carries disease organisms, such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, anaplasmosis or ehrlichiosis.
In mild climates like California’s, adult tick populations are most active from October to March. In climates with four distinct seasons, ticks – like the deer tick, which transmits Lyme disease – have two active seasons: early spring to early summer and fall.
Understanding Ticks
Ticks live outdoors and feed on warm-blooded animals.
Where do ticks live? Leaf piles or litter, mulch piles, plant shoots, woodpiles, shrubs and weedy areas.
What’s the best way to control ticks? If ticks are a problem in your yard, consider applying an outdoor insecticide that is labeled for ticks. A perimeter treatment can help prevent ticks from migrating indoors.
Apply an insect repellent with DEET to clothes and exposed skin. Wear light-colored clothing so ticks are easy to spot. Tuck shirts into pants and pants into socks to keep ticks outside clothing.
If you have been in a tick-infested area, check for ticks, especially in skin folds (beneath arms, behind ears, groin area). Wash clothing in hot water and dry for an hour at high heat to kill ticks that may be hiding in seams.
Don’t forget to treat pets and check them frequently, especially after they’ve been outdoors in tick-friendly environs.
If you live in an area with ticks, create a tick-safe zone around your home.

• Remove leaf litter, tall grasses, and brush around the home and at lawn edges.
• Separate lawn from surrounding wooded areas with a band of gravel or wood chips to limit tick migration.
• Keep the lawn mowed.
• Don’t place swing sets or outdoor living areas near surrounding woods.

 

My reaction too ... can't do those things so... Sawyer's permethrin applied to my boots, clothes, chaps and hats... will continue.

 

Mrs loon just went through their med stash and found some more of these save.

The advantix is the one that has the tick stuff in it. It is effective against both flew and ticks on my dogs. I haven't seen any side effects.

 

We like it save. But with Buddy's case we waited too long to re apply.

 

Trying to get some work around the house done before heading out to the woods and pretty hard to wake her up to move it. Might just leave it till after the woodcutting is done.

 

That is Awesome......

 

Being comfortable= priceless. Life is good up there...

 

She even got 'Blurring' today.

 

GO EMMA! Faster than a speeding bullet...

 

Cool hair doo
