<<< If you want a natural tick controller that is pretty cool too, get
yourself
some Guineafowl (also commonly known as Guinea Hens). They are absolute
murder on ticks. They have been used as a natural tick control for
centuries. Guineafowl go after ticks like a kid goes after candy
during an
Easter egg hunt!>>>
But, but, what do you do after feast? :-)
