Yesterday, we discussed prevention by treating both skin and clothing with repellents. Today, you can easily make tick tubes to keep the tick population low.
To do this: save your toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls (just cut in half) and save your dryer lint or use cotton balls. Spray the lint/cotton balls with Permethrin and let dry for 24 hours. Please follow all directions on the bottle and as always, wash hands after handling any chemicals.
Once dry, fill the tubes with the lint/cotton and place in areas where you suspect mice activity. Wood piles, rock walls, under bushes, etc.
These can also be purchased premade on Amazon.
Stay safe friends!
