UNbelievably awful this year!! I take every precaution, but came home with 4 in my bra yesterday - my husband found them. :silly:
Gonna leave that one alone. Didn't you get one on your azz this Spring? Not that it's any of our business :ashamed:
I had the dog out the other day around the Hamilton airport and felt something crawling on my leg. I grabbed it and had a close look and sure as shootin it was a deer tick.
We've picked at least a dozen off the dog, and 6 off the wife. Not sure if she had any in her bra, as the sour chick would be liable to violently lash-out if I went digging to check. She'd probably tell me to go f-off, even if I told her that I loved her, and was only checking inside the bra because I didn't want her to get sick. They've all been American dog ticks so far. I'm up by Fenelon Falls.
Same here. Female American Dog tick from Port Severn area.Quote:

Scanty snow all winter. So very little insulation over the ground.
Still some mid winter deadly cold snaps to -35C.
Therefore I think many ticks died.
I have very few ticks on the farm this year.
Most years I would pick up 60+ ticks just walking the main 45 minute walking trail on my property.
This year, I get 4-5 ticks in an entire day.
Life is sweet with so few ticks this year.
LOL Sorry. Too much coffee. You still remember I got one on my butt? HmmmQuote:

The dog is coming along as you would expect a high prey drive, high energy bird dog to after knee surgery. Drugs are a good thing. He seems to be healing well.
Haven't seen any on my dogs or myself or my bride. I bought a product called Bugslayer in the U.S that connects to the end of the hose that I spray on my lawn to get rid of ticks. So far so good.
You guys are north and south of me with ticks....never seen a tick here before. Guess it's only a matter of time.. GROSS

Yup I am and never here as well. Even in 49 at our camp I've never seen them but I've seen moose covered in deer ticks.
Lots of ticks in parts of Dufferin. Lived in North end mono for most my life and my mom got bite and so did a lady behind us. Both got very sick
