Great. Be safe.

Pffffft there is absolutely no collusion between my posts and not being nice!

I’ll get Mueller right on this case. It’s a collusion delusion if you ask me ???

Laid down some insecticide in the yard. Had one tick on me two days ago and saw another one yesterday.

Put down grass seed on some patchy spots I had in the yard and spot sprayed some weeds.

Put down some fertilizer in the garden. Going to plant within the next two weeks.

As soon as this rain lets up, my triazicide goes down. I've been using it for years now on my lawn, paths and the edges of the woods and what a difference. When we first got here I got "ticked" the first time out and picked ticks off regularly. Now I can drag a rag across the lawn with absolutely no pickups, and single pickups on the rag only when I drag it long distances in the deep, untreated woods.

When I go into untreated areas, I put on my permethrin-treated clothes. NFW I want to get Lyme...

That’s what I put down. Glad to hear it works. How often do you treat the ground?

Just once, but I've really backed down the amount. I started off at the highest drop rate which meant 8 of the larger bags. Two years ago, I dropped that to 1/4 that amount and I'll test by "dragging the rag" every month. So far I've yet to find anything so I feel good about the lower amount

The medications were available then. Regrettably they just didn't know how to diagnose Lyme early enough to treat it with antibiotics to prevent it going to the chronic state. The disease was only described in 1975 and the causative agent, Borrelia burgdorferi, wasn't identified until the early 80s. Additionally at that point it was a diagnosis by exclusion as there were no direct diagnostic tests so they had to "rule out" a bunch of other possibilities before exploring the possibility of Lyme.

And once again Wader, thanks for another pertinent and informative post. I do hope your "comical" posts to critical topics of concern continue to amuse yourself.
