Word is, that the ticks are out in force because of the dry conditions. So word of warning to all...put on that repellant when you venture outside. ( Permethrin not DEET) |
Its not just the dry weather. I read somewhere (and I can't remember where) last week that the increase also has something to do with the white footed mouse and something to do with acorns also. Hey, I can't make this stuff up. I wish I had copied the article for all to see.
