Default Ticks

20151022_012203-1.jpg

Found this thing in bed with me last night! Dont know where I picked him up, I go straight from shower to my bed every night( about 15') but I did not like it, every 5 mins it felt like something was crawlling on me! Ticks have been bad here the past couple year so I bought chickens, they help because the are free range but i may have to buy some more in spring.

With eggs over $2/dozen, a few more chickens is a good idea.

My dogs hardly ever have ticks on them but the cat comes home covered in them, I found a tick in my hair a few months back but it wasn't attached.

We have wood ticks here. Real bad in the spring during turkey season. It's nothing to come back and have a half dozen crawling on one's self. Occasionally one get's stuck on.
The dogs get a yearly limes shot to help protect them along with Frontline. But they still find a way to get a couple big ole puffy full of blood ones occasionally. The one dog doesn't do good with the Frontline, he get's a rash, so he has to tough it out...
The deer tick is the nasty, hard to see and feel one. Wood ticks aren't as bad, but still a nuisance.
Be careful though, those deer ticks can mess you up real bad.

I used to butcher deer, I remember one year they were so on just about every animal that came into the shop.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
