We keep doxycyclene on hand

Interesting i might do the same
In our case wood ticks don't carry lymes (at least so i've heard), its deer ticks that are the problem.
Yeah this is true, my problem is that i have more deer than trees on the farm
Do you know how to tell the difference?
Permethrin is what you want. Spray shoes and pants legs of your outdoor clothing and no more ticks.
Im allergic to permethrin so i use peppermint and lemongrass oil with alcohol in a pump spray bottle.
Thank you both! This is great information
Wood ticks have light brown sides and a distinctive pattern on their backs. They are also larger than deer ticks. Deer ticks are mostly dark and some people have a hard time seeing them because of their size. The immature deer ticks are very small and are most likely to carry lymes. Whenever we get bitten by a deer tick we profilactically take one double dose of doxycyclene
