The word on the street is ticks are bad all over Ohio this year. I’m really not sure what ‘word on the street’ means I guess it is the current scuttlebutt.
Ohio’s outdoors folks reporting an explosion of ticks in Buckeye woods and fields this spring.
How to remove a tick and products that can help you do it.
So I have embarked on a new adventure to reduce the chances of contact by adding an insecticide to my weed control while I am applying to the natural grass. I have currently applied to 33 acres on the front-9 and have an estimated 16 acres to go. (The natural areas have never been accurately measured.) Then I go off to the back-9.
As you can see we have already started to trim the natural on the back so I can spray for weeds and keep the critters at bay. This is not a permanent solution and we will NOT be able to keep them out of the tall grass and the woods.
So the best advice I can give you is to keep it in the short stuff. If you go into the tall grass or woods when you are done examine yourself for the offending critters.
