How Do You Get Rid of Ticks?
They seem to be everywhere this year. We have never had a problem with them in our yard until this Summer. What’s causing this increase of these nasty little creatures?
Well, truth be told, I’m not sure, but it could be the weather this past Spring/early Summer, which was really quite a bit colder than normal where I live.
Ticks do not like heat I’ve noticed. In my experience it has been very rare to find a tick anywhere in the hot sun.
Days that are rather mild, or even cool, are ones to watch out for ticks a lot more.
However, it’s always a good idea to check your dog over before going in the house if you can, and don’t forget to check yourself too. They often catch a ride in on clothing.
