Thank you for the posts on ticks... I had wanted some property with trees on in, but now I'm thinking I'll take concrete and no plants....
How do you get them off you? Here in Oregon I've only seen one tick in 30 years and I'm in the woods a lot. **sigh** We've not moved there yet and I'm already having culture shock...
Seriously, though, is there a way you can get them off? I've heard of using a lit match, and unscrewing them, and using tweezers. Do those work?
I've got this picture of a person walking out their door and past a tree and being covered in the little buggers...
On the topic of pests... do you have leeches in the lakes?
