This pass week my wife and I have been walking / hiking for 4 or 5 miles a day to get some needed exercise. Yesterday I get the bright idea to hike a local forest preserve. So we and our 2 dogs have an enjoyable 6.5 mile hike walking on a crushed rock path around a prairie field. We never wandered off into the weeds we stayed on the path or in grass. All is well until we go to bed last night, and then all hell breaks lose. Ticks are all over us we checked the dogs and they are all over them. So we have been up about every hour all night long removing ticks. I never had seen ticks this bad before so far we have found 45 ticks. We washed the dogs 3 times with tick shampoo and put frontline on them. We are washing and vacuuming everything. Is there anything else we should be doing? I am debating about setting off a couple of them whole house bug bombs. Any suggestions are welcome. I have never seen or heard about ticks this bad, if someone told me this story I probably wouldn’t have believed it. |
Keep your dogs and other pets up to date on their frontline and they will be fine. It repels ticks and kills them if they do bite. As for yourself just check your self very well, use a handheld mirror to look "everywhere" or you and your wife can play a sexy game of "find the parasite". Depends how long you've been married whether that is fun game or not
