Cat owners in the South, Southwest, and East Coast beware: there is a tick-borne illness, called cytauxzoonosis or "bobcat fever," which can kill a previously healthy housecat in a week.

It's spread by the lone star tick. Especially a concern if you live in a wooded area frequented by bobcats, since they are an asymptomatic reservoir species.

We lost our 7yo healthy kitty to it this past June. He was almost entirely an indoor cat, but we have dogs and my son runs trails. One of those two parties probably brought the tick inside the house.

I’ve seen those or similar- We treat the pond with donuts made to kill the emerging mosquitos, but there are far too many of them now, and the area is so big to treat. But we are gonna have to do something- get the neighbors together to,help defray the costs for the sake of peace in the area lol

We did by an electric flyswatter shaped like a tennis racket that work well to get the ones buzzing around the face if we wanna sit outside for picnic, but 8f someone walking by ever looked over they would have quite a,laugh seeing us all swatting the bugs 😆

I think,the used clay on their bodies as well as herbs too. They had ti tough no doubt- with all,the bugs, horse flies, black flies, no seeums etc. That truly was primitive living for sure, but they found ways to beat the bugs I’m sure. I jusy don’t wanna smell like a swamp just to ward off bugs though lol

Sounds like a more serious problem for wildlife.

I lost a sweetheart of a kitten to bob cat fever a few months ago. Vaccinated for everything except that.

...and here we go. They’re going to kill all the cows to get us on the bugs. They already started with the chickens and pigs.

My mother’s uncle used to tell me, “I’ve had my arms soaked with DDT spray (diluted in water), and I’m still here!”

He told me that when he was 87. He lived to 88, but had tripped backwards getting off his lawnmower, hitting his head and dying from brain damage.

In all my years of farming with livestock, the cattle oiler (that they would rub against) and the summertime corralling and spraying the herd with approved pesticides, worked quite well...

And,... pour on ivermectin.

2. Chickens
Many farmers rely on chickens to take care of their tick problems. These birds live in coops and often do well when they live in small groups.

Chickens can consume ticks that live on or close to the ground. They will also remove ticks from cows and other larger animals.
