You’ve been out on a camping trip, hiked through the woods, or maybe helped a neighbor clear some brush and timber. Once home, you see them…ticks! Not wanting to contract a tick borne illness, you quickly remove them. The question is…what now, what do you do with them? Frontier Extension Agent, Rod Schaub, with the answer:
Be aware when you are in areas that could support ticks and dress appropriately when you are going to be in the timber, with boots, long pants and a long sleeve shirt, and if possible wear a strong tick repellant.
