Well I had my first bad tick experience two days ago....had one completely embedded in my stomach area ! Couldn't even see it ...showering at 11pm. noticed a red mark and small hole ....ugh ...a fricken tick !
Played around awhile but no luck ....off to the emergency room . Doctor numbed me up and started digging. Claimed last year was bad for ticks and this year looks worse . Not sure but I think when I was in the woods picking Ramps / wild Leeks for about an hour he nailed me or night fishing . Should have spayed myself but I never gave it a thought ....so heads up all !  

I haven't had any attach yet, but picked 3 off of me already. I'm afraid take the pups out for exercise, can only imagine how many they'll pick up.

Just the opposite here. Have only seen two on the pointers this calendar year and they run every day.

I’ll take it that way.

Ticks are everywhere in Venango. Better spray down with sawyer's if you are going to venture into the woods

Suddenly, I'm feelin itchy...... ewww.


"Frontline Plus" for "Mans best friend".

Treat your clothes with PERMETHRIN, then forget the ticks and skeeters!

Been spraying myself with off. None on me but dog had a couple gotta stock up on some peppermint oil.

Pulled one out of my thigh about 2 weeks ago. I've been moving rocks outta the woods and must have picked it up then. Pulled 2 off the dog the same week. Seems like the status quo around my area any more. I usually look at my pants every few minutes in the woods this time of year, but got lax while I was working. Nasty little shats!

Like BT said, Frontline + or Advantix. Yeah, ya gotta do it every 30 days, but there simply is no reason for a dog (or cat) to have fleas and/or ticks. Not treating them nowdays is like cruelty to animals.

My pooch gets treated, but was not quite do when I pulled the little buggers off her. She swims a lot, so maybe that shortens the lifespan of the advantix.

By the way captain, hope you're at least enjoying those leeks. Picked a bunch Sunday. Tried transplanting half of what I picked on my new property so I can have a patch of my own one of these days.
