Ticks already out there

[Boiler74]

I guess thanks to our mild winter that ticks are already looking for a meal. I woke up this morning to one munchin on me. Was in the woods and tall grass a lot yesterday but didn't think about ticks being active yet. So protect yourself.

Ticks are proof that the Creator hates us.

I went out shed hunting with my Lab about two weeks ago in perry co. and found one on him,it was not imbeded just walking on his belly.None on me,so that's a good thing.It looks like it's time for tick protection,K9 Advantix II for him and Permethrin for myself,looks like a bad bug year!Anybody finding sheds yet?

One of the down sides of a mild winter. What repellant has Permethrin in it?

I got mine at wal-mart it's Sawyer in a spray bottle,used it last year works great,you spray it on clothing and last about two weeks if you stay dry.

I've got plenty of deer on my wooded property.. but they bring in plenty of ticks too... I'm in South Bend area.. so be aware they are out here too. I always use the Permethrin spray as well.. and it does work!
I got a good high grade spray at Dick's sporting goods - by Sawyer. It has a high percentage of the activant and i've witnessed the results.
Recommended!

OK, found a tick on my leg last night. I had been out to the range and also sitting in my back yard. Never went into tall grass or heavly wooded area. This looks like a real bad tick year coming.

Went fishing at Atterbury the other day, and found 5 ticks between the three of us. Definitely going to be a nasty year for the bugs of all sorts.

I treated my dogs the other day, I wanted to avoid any flea and tick problems.

We've been finding them too. It's common to have them in March here.

 

[trigger_happy57]

i have found about 6 of them in the past week. i wasnt even in the woods or anything thankfully none of them had actually latched on yet

 

[bradw266]

Been clearing an area in a field with a lot of weeds. I found 4 on me after working just a couple of hours. I agree it's gonna be a bad year for bugs. (Although I did find a nice shed from an 8 pointer while working).
