From the column:
“Ticks thrive in a warm environment, which explains their population increase being directly proportional to the rise in temperature as a consequence of global warming.”

Forgot to ping you on my response—linky above. Thanks for your ping.
I have had no ticks for 3-4 years. Not since I got guinea fowls.
Possums eat ticks by the thousands.
Garlic soup every day of the summer!
I have a braid of Estonian Garlic in the cool of the garage. I have about 25 garlic bulbs planted in the garden! (Right next to my multiplier onions!)
I do not think the city would take well to me burning off my zoysia lawn in the spring. Maybe I should spray it down with neem and eucalyptus oil instead and see it disuades the chiggers. (It could be oak gall mites, which fall on your shoulders and neck!)
DE = little shards of silica, I would put this in the same catagory as asbestos. Not a good thing to have poking through your cell membranes! (Could DE call mesothelioma? I wonder...)
