Garden adventures.....let's talk the nasty mite knows as a TICK. The little blood suckers have come out in force this year. We have the Texas Lone Star tick. Better then the Deer Tick as they carry lime disease. The Lone Star gives you a nasty rash sometimes. Anyway, how do you combat the nasty mite? Thus far we use Advantage drops on out pups. This kills the tick if they bit into the dog but does not repel them. Of course then the ticks come in the house via the dogs. I have sprayed the yard and this works for a bit. I'm looking to get a professional exterminator as the critters are overly abundant this year.
