“wish the cold would kill off ticks & Lyme disease”
Some bleeding heart liberal will protest the extinction of this species.

The New England Winter of 1979-80 did a very big number on the gypsy moth population. Took about 20 years for the encroach to start creeping North again.

This weather is killing lots of ticks. After three years of warm winters, this one was overdue.

Ticks can burrow into the soil and re-emerge up to 16yrs later. The really effective chemicals we used on lawns and fields -- Malathion Concentrate and Chem-Tox Dursban Plus Concentrate -- were EPA-banned, 10-15yrs ago. It'd take -10° to -50° to kill ticks, but won't kill eggs, if already laid.
