I'm surprised in this liberal state the "do gooders" haven't done research and initialized a "tick relocation program"
DON"T GIVE THEM ANY IDEAS! Next thing they will apply for a grant for big $$$$$ and get it to relocate the little buggers.

I used to live in CT. Not too far from Lyme. Had Lyme disease four times. Luckily the blue pills for four weeks fixes me up.
There's a lot of dog ticks here in southern Maine this year. I have a good amount of wild turkeys on the property, but there's a lot of woods too. I need to do the permitherin thing to some clothes.
Sometimes I see news articles about the intensity of winter and tick populations. If the last two winters didn't put a dent in them, I don't think any will.

They tried but the conservatives voted against it.I'm surprised in this liberal state the "do gooders" haven't done research and initialized a "tick relocation program"
Have to say I agree. We've been watching Lyme and ticks getting closer to us for the last 10+ years and were told it was the warmer winters. Now that we've had 2 very cold winters, they are worse than ever. I was driving back from a kid's soccer game Wed. and found a tick crawling up my shirt.
Great idea for a new business - tick inspector. We'll inspect the body parts you can't see!

I can pretty much echo what DougA is saying, but from a Saskatchewan perspective. The area I've lived most of my life (grew up, moved away, moved back) was tick free until 5 or 6 years ago. I tramped all over the countryside as a kid, and never even heard of ticks. The tick population seemed to explode 5 years ago, and suddenly they are everywhere.
I belong to other forums where we've had tick discussions, and I'm a big cheerleader for permethrin. That stuff works wonders.

Darwin's theory at work ... the fittest have survived and apparently have hitch-hiked all over the country
I think snakes will be ruling the planet. I'm pretty sure my ancestors were snakes.

Another article saying that ticks carry a multitude of illnesses, not just Lyme. Worth a read if you have ticks in your area.

Over 95% of mammals on earth are domesticated. We have farmed the planet. As human population increases coyotes don't seem to stand a chance.
Yet. Thought coyotes on the Cape intrigue me. I don't remember them when I summered there. Is this relatively recent?

There are coyotes everywhere in southern Ont. They are even in the ravines in midtown Toronto. The experts cal them coywolves but I have no idea if they are genetically joined or just a fancy name for coyote.
We have dozens of them near us almost every night.

I know they are here, but the first one I have seen expired two weeks ago when I went out in the morning with the cat and she was acting weird. At first I thought it was just another big fox. But fox carry their tail high and 'yotes let it hang down when walking and running.

Got twisted up a little on a short local hike / walk today. Ended up bush whacking a bit to get back on course. That was my personal collection, another three off the pup so far.
It's a new personal record for me.
