Winning the Tick Wars

having lyme disease even once, much less eight times! Glad you have found a cure to keep the critters away.

In response to message posted by jerrib:

You would THINK Lyme would be more like Chicken Pox, hopefully ONE ROUND per customer. Unfortunately not. And each time you get it it gets worse and worse meaning it goes deeper into your nerves. HOWEVER, I am walkin', BellyDANCIN' proof that it can be COMPLETELY recovered from, I'm proud to say!

As for the Maxforce boxes being a CURE, well, not QUITE, but HOPEFULLY they should greatly reduce the risk of getting it, at least on the properties on which they're used. Even the Maxforc site points out that it is still prudent to keep the deer (who will be carrying deerticks from much farther away) OFF your property as much as possible. There IS a huge feeding station version of the Maxforce Boxes that is being tested just north of me at the Institute of Ecosystem Studies where the deer dips its head down to feed and puts its face between two rollers which apply the fipronil. Right now I think they're testing with some kind of marking dye to see first how many deer can be treated per feeding station. See how CLEVER the deerticks have made us all???
