Ticks are going to bad this year
It looks like ticks are going to be bad in Jersey this year, I found ticks on doughnut for a week, it was cold and snowing when she had her weekend out in the woods so I start to put advantage on them already

You convinced me when you said you found ticks on your doughnut. Think I would change places to get your doughnuts.cohanzick creek wrote:It looks like ticks are going to be bad in Jersey this year, I found ticks on doughnut for a week, it was cold and snowing when she had her weekend out in the woods so I start to put advantage on them already

Advantix is the product you used? The deer population here keeps us in a year round supply of bloodsuckers.

Re: Ticks are going to bad this year
What I don't get is why the northern states always have such higher numbers of lymes disease cases despite having these intense tick free winters? Can anyone shed some light on this?

Re: Ticks are going to bad this year
I never made fun of your dogs name as I didn't even know it's name. Names are always capitalized and I didn't see it listed in your post. There are reasons for good grammer and writing skills when it comes to communicating with people. I figured out what you meant but you sure didn't help me any. And I like the name. And I admit I was picking on you a wee bit.cohanzick creek wrote:lol you guys can make fun of my dogs name. It's okay, but my daughter works in a bakery and brings me home.

Re: Ticks are going to bad this year
I freaking hate ticks! Last year I had a bunch get in my truck. It was a miserable had to bomb the truck and do a though vacuuming. Remember not to leave the Windows open or let the dogs ride inside the cab when you know there is a tick infestation.

I think that was a typo.......did he mean to say he found a tick on his dogs nuts instead of dougnuts? You know how these spell checkers can make mistakes.

Re: Ticks are going to bad this year
I started Frontlining early this year.
While on that subject, y'all don't forget to protect yourselves out there with whatever tick repellant you prefer. I use Deep Woods off and a spray on repellant on my clothing and shoes. Even my hat. In fact you might say I am pretty adamant about it.
I was diagnosed with Lyme in 09. Trust me, you don't want to get it. Everything you hear about it is true compounded. All it takes is one bite from an infected tick. Forget the 24 hour leeway in getting the tick removed. It can happen in less time than that. Also never remove a tick by using heat or chemicals. You will cause it to regurgitate it's stomach contents and bingo,the next thing you know you are sicker than a dog and on mega doses of antibiotics for years.
Please take the little bloodsuckers seriously.

Re: Ticks are going to bad this year
Okay, doughnut is my dogs name. I know I didn't post it very well when doughnut got out and ran in the woods for over 30 hours. She came back load it with ticks. I pick them off for a week, it was cold so I was surprised to see ticks so early in the season. Now the weather is getting nice you can't walk outside without getting a tick on you already started to put K9 advantage on my dogs
