My middle son did a lot of research on ticks in college and as a postgrad. They are as hardy as they can be. -10 to 120 degrees for most ticks can be easily survived. Extreme wet or dry makes no difference. Most chemicals do not bother them. With females producing 3,000-6,000 eggs rapid population growth is always right around the corner. And they happily accept ant warm blooded mammal as a food source. A very tough little arachnoid. Insects you can bait, but not arachnoids. Fresh host or meals only.

In his lab they raised different types of ticks. Sometimes times would have a million ticks in the fridge or light freezer. Use to make my skin crawl to go into that lab. He was trying to see what environment stresses made ticks weaker and what chemicals were more effective under different conditions. That way your chemical controls could be more effective. He will tell you if ticks have souls he is dambed because he figures he has killed millions if not tens of millions of them.

Since baby quail are an excellent way to reduce tick numbers, they eat them like candy, I think the Federal Government needs to spend countless millions oo billions of dollars on reintroducing quail back into their native range as a natural, chemical free way to reduce ticks and all the tick born diseases they spread. The first thousand birds can be released on my farms, followed by repeated releases to bring bird numbers up and tick numbers down. No more than a decade or two will be needed to see if the program works. As a test of its effectiveness Ill harvest birds in the Fall and check myself and dog for ticks. If any are found we can increase the number of quail released next year. Might need other volunteers to help with this important study. Im sure others here will volunteer in the name of the children and science.

Georgia Southern has a tick research facility and has the United States National Tick Collection. Eat your heart out Harvard. What a distinction for the 'Boro. http://cosm.georgiasouthern.edu/usntc/ A buddy's farm was studied for tick population and the researcher put a quantity of dry ice on a blanket and dragged it through the woods and left it for hours and came back. The blanket was covered with ticks. They are attracted to CO2 which is the component of dry ice.

I recall you support the party that denies climate change.

This is precisely the kind of crap that makes nca225 happy.

And it is the reason that if I had a choice between living with ticks or Liberal Left Democrats, I'd choose the ticks every time.

By the way, climate change and sub-freezing temperatures has little or nothing to with survival of ticks. They survive quite nicely under a bed of leaves under the snow, and do even better when they are nestled on a warm deer hide. I've had dozens of them drop off of deer I shot in sub-freezing, and even sub-zero temperatures, when I hang them to cool and bleed out before processing.

And for all you Southerners, here's a link with information from NOAA documenting how Winters in Georgia have been getting colder in recent years, with more ice and snow:

Give a man enough rope and he'll hang himself.........

Don't be astounded, Geo. It's their nature. I don't hate them..........I hate what they stand for.

I saw them using dry ice to check the population levels of ticks on a TV show years back...I don't doubt it being true but its' hard to imagine that's how they are attracted to prey.

A good buddy of mine told me he saw on the news earlier this year where there are some new tick borne diseases that almost make Lyme look like a bad cold.

Their goal is the destruction of the United States any way they can.

Planned parent hood...originally thought up to control the black and poor and uneducated population.

That goes had in hand with open boarders...destroy a country from within or demolish their culture.

I'll say it I hate their damn guts and I'm proud of it.

How is having to deal with more unwanted babies going to help us? I support pro-choice movement and distribution of free contraceptives.

Yes indeed . . . ran across those facts when I worked for the CIA. AIDs was also a biological warfare experiment gone wrong, which we then turned loose on the country's gay and black communities. Just ask Maxine Waters for verification. She'll also tell you that the CIA was responsible for the crack epidemic in the ghetto.

For people who claim they don't like liberals, some folks here can certainly suck up liberal hogwash by the gallon.
