Ticks

nhcatrider · 04-29-2014, 07:18 AM

I hate ticks. One of my friends bought a house 2 years ago that had sat vacant for a few years, and the lawn had overgrown quite nicely. He was picking 25+ ticks a day off his small dog, and it continued to be a problem until he had mowed the lawn back to the woodline several times, which drove them back. Funny part is I was over there a lot during this time and never had a tick on me, neither did my daughter. Only thing I can think of is the amount of garlic eaten in my house would probably kill the average person. We don't have a problem with mosquitoes either, they don't seem to like the taste and smell of garlic. Coincidence?

They might be Vampire ticks and mosquitos.
