Good luck on your venture.

Its not recommended on the label but I spilled some pour on Ivomec on my leg one year working cattle and did not have one tick or flea bite all year.

That's a terrific stream.
I figured they'd get worse as it warmed up

Also there is a creek that runs through the property so I can't spray anyhing that would cause an issue there
One more question I was told the ticks are in the woods
I want to keep the wooded areas I have for hunting not to mention I have wooded areas outside my fence I have no control over
Is there anything I can do to control them in the wooded areas ?
