Mowing has been recommended for managing ticks where people tread, but a new study suggests that a single mow of park trails in early summer isn't enough to reduce prevalence of blacklegged and American dog ticks. /via @SPaskewitz team @UWMadison #MCEVBD

Congrats to @KylieontheTrail and @bearly_famous for leading this study (and continuing it on these past two years... stay tuned for more exciting information to come!) Thank you @Thermacell for the opportunity to explore this tick control method that homeowners can use!
#TickTubes only work to control #BlackLeggedTicks if mice use the permethrin-treated cotton - and new research shows this depends strongly on the time of year https://t.co/xLxfVDVS3m

Such a great reminder of the ticks in the woods. This sign at the #redcedartrail is a perfect example of what you should do while outside enjoying the weather. #tickprevention #hiking #outdoors #lymedisease #ticks #tick #bug #DEET #tickbite #thetickapp2022

Don’t know about you but this picture made me want to hit the floor and do some planks. Other things you can learn from ticks... •patience •how to blend in & not be noticed •how to reach out & touch someone •how to hold on tight & not let go •how to expand •adaptability ?
