Maybe I'll add that to the articles I'm working on for ticks. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/tick-problem#post-851 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 08:51:24 +0000 Auburbanite 851@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>If you are worried about your children being exposed to Lyme disease carrying ticks, you may want to treat your yard with Tick Tubes. The product has been around for 20 years and is very effective. Here you can check out a photo of one being used by a mouse: <a href="http://tickencounter.org/prevention/protectyouryard#mousedevices" rel="nofollow">http://tickencounter.org/prevention/protectyouryard#mousedevices</a> </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/tick-problem#post-422 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 09:28:18 +0000 Christa 422@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>I also live in the country and have deer coming into my yard all the time.To prevent ticks in my yard I spred mulch all along the tree lines, this discourages ticks. It took a lot of mulch but it works.My dog does not have any at all. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/tick-problem#post-237 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 16:09:55 +0000 getagrip 237@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>How old is the new puppy. I would suggest Frontline or something like that. If he's to young maybe keep him inside for a while. I would be more concerned with the kids. They can bring the ticks indoors in thier socks and clothes. Cut back all overhanging foliage. Be sure to let the kids know to stay away from those areas. Have then pause at the entrance to be "checked" for ticks. Just a little common sense and most kids will understand.Now that's INEXPENSIVE. </p> http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/topic/tick-problem#post-178 Thu, 15 May 2008 14:56:22 +0000 gin 178@http://www.getridofthings.com/forums/ <p>I have several pets outdoors and my kids play outside a lot, we live in the country. This year seems to be a really bad one for ticks. The new puppy we just got seems to be continually covered with the ticks. I'm afraid he is going to get sick.</p> <p>So I'm lookin for ideas to put in his dog house or around it to keep the ticks from getting on him. </p> <p>We gave him a bath to kill the ticks and picked several off of him and then bought a flea and tick collar too.</p> <p>HELP&lt; HELP if you have any ideas on an inexpensive way to treat outside areas for ticks!!!! </p>
