On Deer ticks creep their way into Walworth County
Posted on June 11 at 12:58 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
Families can protect their loved ones and pets with a few precautions that were not mentioned in this article. People often mention DEET, but there is a safer option. Permethrin doesn't just repel but kills ticks. Outdoors stores such as REI & LLBean offer permethrin treated clothing for people who enjoy the outdoors. People who enjoy living closer to nature can treat their yards with Tick Tubes by Damminix. It is an eco-friendly, biodegradable and targeted option that kills ticks on mice before they contract Lyme. You only have to place them twice per year - Spring & Summer.
Don't forget: keep leaf litter and brush to a minimum because this is where ticks live.
