Out door grow

something else on the plants Ticks 3 or 4 per plant can't figure that one out unless they are predatory, they are not touching/eating the plants

yes slugs are attracted to yeast and at home I use it when I have an issue , Ill stick with d earth in the woods if we ever have a few days without rain

They do seem to hit the plant once or twice and then leave it alone
 
Mrs. Lady, being a victim of alpha gal (a tick-borne disease) has made a study of ticks. They are indeed ambush predators. They sense heat & carbon dioxide & will drop out of trees onto us regularly. We have lost 2 dogs in the last 10 years to rocky mountain spotted tick fever (curious, as we're in the mid-atlantic coast). The chickens really help keep them in check. Guineas are even better but they're kinda dumb & all of ours wandered wandered off years ago.
 
A little beer doesn’t hurt, but they’ll go in for just the smell of beer and they can’t get out.
 
BillBates, you are right about the Guineas, they are hell on ticks. Lots better than Chickens, and they are pretty good with bugs.
I love the noise Guineas, make.
Sure hate to hear about you losing your dogs. That's terrible. I've lost a couple of jim dandy coon dogs , due to BullNettle, getting in their eyes, when we were huntin. That's some bad stuff too.
LymeDisease ain't no joke either.
 
I had a squadron of the little Bastards land on my arm .no kidding I felt something crawling looked down to see one then 3 more landed ,them little things can jump a mile .

My partner has a dog and hes not bringing him in the woods because their are so many Ticks , I wish I could go in my back yard lol . I would but the law says they have to be in a fenced area ,I just dont have that kind of room, I could make room if I cut down two grape plants and 1 apple tree neither of which I'm going to do ( wife hasn't raised her voice to me in 22 years) but I think she would over that lol
 
I stepped in a nest last year & had seed ticks all over my legs. Scratched the skin off from my ankles to my knees. We're at war!
 
Mrs. Lady & I have been talking about getting some more guineas as mercenaries but unless we can restrict them to the yard, there's really no point.
 
I dont mind the ticks on the plants ,I just dont like them on me lol from the sign in the areas I have possums,turkeys and other small critters
