FYI, I do all the things in the previous post because I know multiple people who now have Lyme Disease from a tick bite.

“’When the weather changes back the other way, as it surely will, will they report on that, too?’”

“It will be the Dawn of the New Ice Age. Do you remember the 1970’s”

Yes, I remember the Dawn of the New Ice Age, and, for the record, the 1970s also marked “The Dawn of the Age of Aquarius,” declared as such in 1967 by The Fifth Dimension.

The lyrics made that science easy to understand. There was indeed concern then about not enough sunshine shining in:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjxSCAalsBE

“When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind’s true liberation, Aquarius
Aquarius
When the moon (when the moon) is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter (Jupiter) aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius

Let the sunshine, let the sun shine in
The sun shine in
Let the sunshine, let the sun shine in
The sun shine in
Let the sunshine, let the sun shine in (oh, let it shine)
(Come on) the sun shine in (now everybody just sing along)
Let the sunshine (and let the sun shine on in), let the sun shine in
(Open up your heart) the sun shine in (and let it shine on you)
(And when you lonely) let the sunshine (hey, let it shine), let the sun shine in
(You gotta open up your heart) the sun shine in (and let it shine on in)
(And when you feel like you been mistreated)
Let the sunshine, let the sun shine in (and your friends turn their backs upon ya)
(Just open up your heart) the sun shine in (let it shine on in)
(You got to feel it) let the sunshine (you got to feel it), let the sun shine in
(Oh, open up your heart) the sun shine in (and let it shine on in)
(Now, let me tell you one thing)
Let the sunshine, let the sun shine in (I want you to sing along with the 5th dimension)
(Hey, and open up your heart) the sun shine in (oh c’mon)
Let the sunshine (and let it shine), let the sun shine in
(Glory day) the sun shine in
(Hey, you got to feel it) let the sunshine (you got to feel it), let the sun shine in
(When you open up your heart) the sun shine in (you got to let the sun come on in)
(Now I say, in the morning) let the sunshine, (late in the evening), let the sun shine in
(Open up your heart) the sun shine in
(Hey, when you’re feeling low) let the sunshine

Yes. Release the opossums. Where are they? I live in a rural area and haven't seen one in three years.

Ticks can’t survive more than a couple of days in temperatures below zero

Can they survive DDT?

Gas stoves and hot water heaters.

We’ve had a real problem here in the Upper Valley as well.

We used insect granules and there is something called an insect growth regulator, which is like a puberty blocker for insects.

The recommendation is to spray a liquid insecticide in a pump sprayer and add this to it. The insecticide takes care of the adults and the IGR takes care of the larva and nymphs.

You can find it other places, but not as cheap.

We’re going to be doing that for the lawn around the house.

I was in jr/sr high school when that song came out.

Wishful thinking but clearly never came to pass.

This is what I bought last year:

https://www.domyown.com/mosquito-control-kit-professional-p-14630.html

You mix three liquid insecticides together with 4 gallons of water in a backpack sprayer.

The other one Altosid you sprinkle into bird baths, the dogs pool, any type of standing water. It kills the larve in the water.

Don’t forget Guterres’ “climate boiling”, which might be sublimation since he skipped over the melting phase.

Their government-run health systems are also notorious for misdiagnosing illnesses.

We’re looking more at tick control.

We do have a pond nearby but there is constant water flow through it. It is not stagnant and we have very little trouble with mosquitoes.

They knew this back in 1993! Proof:
