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.

i know it- they are tough to eradicate- we went to a sportsman’s dinner once and the3y had soem biologists who were talking about the mice in the area they were studying, and they said there is no way they study the mice without full protective suits on due to hunta-virus, and i assume lyme disease, and other threats- it was a sobering statement- as a sportsman myself, I loved being in woods, camping, etc- scary stuff!
