sorry to say, but in the area you and we live, wood ticks are part of life for at least 6 weeks in May June. I have a great solution tho, get some Guinea hens to roam your land, they are the BEST for eating wood ticks. I have had them for 2 years now, and do not have to be a "monkey" every night, picking wood ticks from horses, dogs AND especially kids. :> And the hens are NOT noisy as some people warned. We love'em. An occasional wood tick still comes around, but not often. Learnt this from Kit Davis actually, when visiting their place years ago. Wood tick can be deadly for foals especially, as they get in their tails and spine. One foal died here north of us a few years back because of tick infestation. yak!! Not a fjord tho. Janne
