Ugh, the ticks never go away no matter what else does. We go out trail riding in the country. The horses always end up with a couple of ticks on them. My dogs even though I spray them end up bringing ticks into my house. I found one crawling on a notebook I was looking through the other night. Last year, I found one on the heating pad & was planning on using & last Sunday, I actually found one on my leg, it was just starting to bite. I had never seen a tick before I moved to Kentucky. The guy from land management was at my farm & had one crawling on him...it wasn't until after he showed me what they look like that I kept seeing them after that.

Oh, funny you mentioned lizzards. Yesterday, when I walked down to my front room, I noticed something that looked like a stick on my frontroom floor. Then I realized it was in the shape of a lizzard. I went back to check on it & sure enough....beautiful little lizzard with a blewish tail. I tried to catch him, but he evaded me. Guess if he got in my house, there is a way for him to get out just like the mice.....lol.

Try using OFF or one of those sprays that keep the ticks & mosquitoes off. They really do work well

Country living is so wonderful, but there are so many concerns
