Got more dang tics on the about 7 acres (where I'm wanting the homesite to be) what can I do to get rid of them?  Burn it? (Field) or guineas or what?  I'm tired of getting them off of me after walking the property!!! air_plane go_away

Guineas would be my idea.

Sawyer's permethrin. Apply to clothing. Lasts a few washes. Kills ticks dead. Available at sporting stores and Walmart's.

I have been told that ticks don't like short grass, keeping it mowed might help.

I did not have any tics until the last 5 years or so. Or did not find any on me. Last year I found 4-5 on me.

What I did was pack up and move after my wife and I both got lime. The biggest hosts that spread ticks are deer and mice, so if you get rid of them the tic population should go down. Cutting the grass short doesn't help. The last place I lived the DEC did a study on my yard because of a high tic population and they had college interns drag white sheets across the short grass in marked out sections on my property. They would then pick the ticks off it, count them and send them out to be tested for Lyme disease. No mater how many tics they took there was always another batch when they returned the following week, and a very large percentage of them carried a transmittable disease. Anyone that finds a easy way to get rid if them will become a millionaire over night.

Place a dog flea collar around each boot and just leave it there all summer. No more ticks coming up your leg. Pyrethein spray around your belt and that should take care of any critters.
