And coyotes…there will always be coyotes.

Like Wile E. Coyote…but he was a liberal, he spent a lifetime spending vast amounts of money on short cuts that didn’t work then hated the Roadrunner for it.

I hate ticks as much as I hate anything. If I could kill all of them I would in a heartbeat. The chemical Warrior works very well, but is hard on anything that lives.

In Australia we have many types of ticks the worst is the Paralysis tick, it is carried by native animals kangaroos , possums ect they are immune to it, but it kills domestic dogs & cats most prevalent in warmer wetter parts of the country, most pet owners treat there amimals with tablets, or treated collars
which kills the ticks.

I stuck a tick on the wall under scotch tape for a year. When I pulled it off, it moved.
I performed an exorcism on it and burned it. If I had a silver bullet small enough, I would have shot it.

Nasty buggers. Pardon the pun.

Our manager religiously takes out his leather man and uses to pliers to crush every tick he finds After experimenting using finger nails to plastic bottles to try and crush them...I reckon his plan is bout the best

Interesting, and they are frigging everywhere! The one I'd hate to have bite me would be the Lone Star tick, can cause a meat allergy. Might as well kill myself if I couldn't eat meat.

parasitic infections are no joke. Plus US physicians are clueless on how to treat them.

Never seen a tick here in Colorado? No groundhogs either? Seems like a pattern of living in a sterile environment. LOL

You need to get out more. I have had a half dozen on me here in Colorado, mainly in the spring time out hunting turkeys in the oak brush. That was before I learned about Permithin

Nope, I have never seen one turkey or dove hunting here or Kansas. Usually turkey hunting in the spring is too cold here anyway for them. Never have seen a rattlesnake either when hunting. I can't hear their rattle, so who knows how many I've walked by over the years? I guess I'm one lucky SOB! LOL
