[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1247113, member: 20599"] According to our vet, they are worst (here anyway) in spring and fall. They prefer somewhat cooler damp weather to the dog days of summer. Spouse and dog have both had Lyme in past 2 years, and nearest neighbor just diagnosed with it (as well as her toddler). Note that deer are not the only tick carriers (at least for many/most tick species); mice carry them too. Nonetheless, I am sick of ticks [i]and [/i]sick of deer. I've been watching a whole herd (deer, not ticks) eating up my pasture just as fast as it can grow. Buddy told me you can get a nuisance permit off-season--may have to look into it. No one around here can believe how they all survived our monstrous winter, but survive and thrive they did. We have several dozen just on our 170-ish acres. Tear our my dang fences too. Bambi--pah!
