Ticks Galore

I am so tired of ticks. Our yard was infested. Since January, I have found at least two every other day. Most of them have been on Nani. I had found some crawling up the walls near the back door. A couple of weekends ago, we found about 9 or 10 (I lost count) in 24 hours and one of those was attached to my arm. I think we were carrying them in on our feet and clothing. I finally went to Crop Production Services and bought some stuff to spray on the yard. It worked around the house, but now Chad's shop is infested. You can see them crawling up the doors and walls. I found one on Nani Wednesday night. Last night, I was standing at Chad's shop and I had a baby one crawling up the leg of my pj's. When I got in the house, I had a bigger one crawling up my leg. When he came in the house for the evening, I made him strip down in the laundry room before he got on the carpet. The truck was parked at the shop. When we were driving to breakfast this morning, Chad had one on his hand. He must have picked it up off of the truck. He has some stuff left and will be spraying his shop this weekend. I hope it works!!!

  2. Our guineas are good for keeping the ticks down. I haven't seen one at all this year, yet. I hope you get them under control!
