Lovely, let's just pave it all over.
The epidemiologists studying the coastal region say it is the rise of Babesiosis that is causing many of the problems people have. Partially because no one realizes they have it, or think it is lymes. And never before have so many hundreds of thousand humans been affected and not treated, so they are just now learning about the complications people can have.
And I hear that in Australia they teach people to use small freezing air bottles. That studies have shown freezing the tick like a skin tag is the most effective way to get them off without them injecting into you. Why have I never seen that done at all in the USA? personally I just cut a v notch in a credit card.
Well at least they are not the big fat blood suckers that are bringing down entire herds of moose in the Maine woods this year. Where's that link?

Christ, just get a couple of cats and closely regulate their feed. Your monthly tick-poisoning of the cat will protect them and there won't be a rodent within 50 yards of your house.
Cats and dogs aren't snuggle toys, they are part of a working family household and they have to do their work.
Stop trying to re-evolve the world folks, just use world as it has evolved around us.

I agree. And you should start by rejecting all forms of modern medicine. Just open a vein next time you have a serious illness.

and to top it off - my daughter's pet rat kicks the bucket and she's coming down to bury it in Dad's burgeoning Pet Semetary.

Growing up, we had a mouse problem...for a short time...until I introduced these into the barn. Always remained out of sight. Very effective.
For years, anytime a replacement was needed, I'd head up to the parkway, for some wrangling after an evening thunderstorm. BTW This species is incredibly fast!
Ocassionally made a "date" out of these adventures. Same concept applies when she's laying on the warm hood of a CJ5 amidst cool mountain surroundings...front bumper just the right height as I recall.

You poor sods... should have taken the Lymerix series when it was available, as I did. Sadly, the lawyers ended this, the only previously known vaccine.

We do the same. When I was a kid in VA our mom would pay us boys $1 for every blacksnake we caught live and chucked into the crawlspace.
