Killed one crawling up my pants leg last week. Mosquitos swarming. Ready for fall.

Only encountered one so far this year. I wasn't out much for spring bear season but usually the organic orchards are swarming with them.

Found a couple on my pants in MT turkey season. But I had 3 dug in from my MO trip, and another dozen crawling on me from the first day. After that, all outerwear got a healthy dose of permethrin- no problems after that.

Geez, I hope that's not a close-up of your coin purse...

Had to use a magnifying glass to verify what this was.

The tiny ones are the dangerous ones. I pulled a big dog/wood tick out of my beard last Wednesday. Probably brought in by the dogs. Dog ticks are no worry around here. I understand they can rarely carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever but only one case has ever been reported in Ontario ... and Ontario is a very big place!

I’ve pulled dozens off so far. Was lazy in getting the permethrin treating done on clothes this spring. Finally had enough after I pulled 3 off in the shower on Saturday and got some outfits treated.

I've pulled off at least 15 so far this year, ridiculous.

This is an essential piece of tick equipment.

We've been picking ticks for two months in central MN... And the mosquitos are the worst I can remember in years! Why do I live in this state??? At least we have water I guess .

 

[Keep on]

Never had extended cold here this past winter. The dog was picking them up in late February, we use advantix on her and they drop off pretty quickly.
I've pulled 5 off myself so far this year.

anyone else's skin crawling while scrolling through this thread ha

This spring has been brutal. Never seen so many ticks up North where I bear hunt. I'd find a dozen on me by the time I would walk to my truck to the tree stand.

Somehow the dog's only brought one in the house though so that's that!

Don't get em in AK.

 

[Redmt]

We dust the dogs with Sevin dust. No ticks, no fleas, non toxic.

 

[marshman]

I hate these damn things.

 

[R.K.]

Don't get em in AK.

OK, I might have to move to AK just for that fact alone.
