Same here.
Last year, if I saw *3* ticks all summer, I was freaking out.
Now it’s more like 3 ticks a week.
We keep spraying with permethrin but the nearly continual cold rains wash it away.
Stupid “global warming”.
I’m about *thisclose* to blacktopping my backyard....:D
[oh...wait...it was 6 feet long...danged perpective thing]
Our 12 1/2 year old developed cancer. His liver, spleen and other internal organs all had multiple tumours. I don't know if there was any relationship between the cancer and the anti-tick application, but I'll never take the chance again. We had him put to sleep on Saturday. We are heartbroken.
I hear you about the blacktop.
My friend put BioSpot on her dog and within days his immune system was shot.
She kept him alive with extreme measures for a year but he recently lost the battle.
She too is heart broken.
I’ll never use that stuff on my dogs and I deeply resent vets constantly pushing it.
I’m very sorry about your dog.
There should be class action suits against all of it.
Don't write me anymore....all you do is talk Crapola and call me names.
Thank you, Salamander. I appreciate it.
You run straight into reality and still don’t know what smacked you upside the head.
Videos do not lie.
[or is only *your* self-serving video “true”?]
You got owned and you *know* it.
Too bad you’ve not the grace to admit it.
Your ‘snake friend’ is as ignorant as you are.
I feel sorry for any snakes in his care.
[and I’ll write to whomever I please, “Wannabe Witch”]
:-P
There are *tons* of support groups for those whose pets died from those pesticides.
Perhaps you can find comfort in them.
There are untold thousands of stories, just like yours, unfortunately.

Thanks, Salamander. You're very kind and that's a good suggestion.
I love critters and by association, the people who them.
I only wish that I could do more.
Edit...love them.
(goofy iPad)
You've done more than you know.
Actually, the very act of jumping up and down to play the “I, won, I won” game is a well known indication that one has lost the debate—because the first person to play it is typically someone who cannot continue the debate based on facts and data. It is the ploy of someone who is more desperate to *feel* like he or she has won than the person who is confident, based on the strength of his/her arguments, that he/she has won.
It is the argument of the five year old who supposes that volume makes up for lack of substance of argument. The five year old has an excuse-—being unable to understand analytical thought.
Suppositions and hysteria are not facts or data.
Where is your *data* that a rat snake has ever devoured a kitten?
Anecdotal evidence (most likely falsified) is not data.
Even if true, anecdotal evidence is not data.
Where is your data on rat snakes eating kittens?
More crapola with a defective premise. I presented facts. You’re whole post does not reflect me...but rather your counterpoint who likes to call names and spit out nonsense. Leave me be now, I have important things to do.
Like collecting the data which has been oddly missing from your posts?
I look forward to your return when you present actual data, not opinions or hysteria.
I asked you not to ping me anymore you ex-banned newbie. I mean it.
Seems our FRiend is unable to provide data. I think she’s busy licking the wounds of intellectual dishonesty.
Glad you found Alice, (will Alice Cooper be performing at your place to celebrate? ;-) ) though I do hope you will let him “freep” again someday.
I’m sorry...I got lost somewhere in the linguistic limbo between “Youre whole” and “ex-banned newbie”.
English is my native language so you can understand my confusion.
And don’t ping me any more. I mean it.
[Although what I could possibly do about it if you continue to do so remains an incredible mystery]
;]
I seriously doubt The Coop is gonna come over for a welcome back snake party.
LOL
[Data? We doan need no steenking data]
