The real question is how to eradicate them. I hope it’s easier than eradicating leftists.

Has any type of tick been eradicated?
I don’t think so, unless a nuclear bomb is used.

“These diseases include the bacterial infections babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, theileriosis and rickettsiosis, as well as certain viral diseases, according to the USDA.”
I hate reading about diseases with names that are practically unpronouncable.

“Females can reproduce asexually and lay thousands of eggs.
Female longhorned ticks don’t need a male to reproduce.”
Sort of like American lesbians only wish.

F’n Asian creatures again!!!! How many “bugs” do we need to import before ALL of our native trees, flowers, insects, birds and humans are endangered or extinct. F you Asian long horned beetle, Asian Ladybeetle, Asian sourced Ophiostoma fungus (Dutch elm)....and on and on. Diversity can suck, just sayin’.

And, of course, there is the specific species - democrat-tics.
Can’t spell democratic without ‘rat’ and ‘tic’.

The easy to pronounce ones are bad enough...”Ebola”
If lethality is proportional to pronouncability, we are in BIG trouble.

“Scientists don’t know how they got here”...
-——— Well that’s one mighty stupid bunch of scientists. Every FReeper on this thread knows how they got here!
To: Bonemaker
Most likely they are coming from dogs that are being brought in from other countries and put up through adoption in the states without any health check by vets.
