Stephen said:My kids got to play in our backyard for the first time on Tuesday. We walked in the woods behind my house... just to see what was there. We got back, had dinner, and threw the kids in the tub to get the mud off. Good thing, cause we found a tick crawling through the hair on my littlest guy. We got him before he embedded, but it was scary to see one so soon!

That's about the only way to keep ticks off. Unfortunately, even that's not effective against chiggers. I hate the chiggers. And seed ticks.

That was the best I ever read !Skeeters so big ya gotta keep yer pets indoors. My hometown spent more every year on mosquito control than they did on the police department. There were two kinds of cologne available- Off!, and Deep Woods Off!. Deet is the county beverage. People came from miles around when the Avon lady got a new shipment of Skinsosoft in. There's even a Mosquito Fest every year, to provide a counterpoint to the World Championship Duck Calling Contest and Duck Gumbo Cookoff.
