    Ticks

    Oh My! I have never had an issue with ticks, but this week three kids had ticks burrowed in their skin. One of them with multiple ticks! We get our lawn treated/sprayed three times per season every year. So I called and had them come out again, but im almost scared to take the kids out! Anyone else having tick issues? The lawn company said they are especially bad this year. Any suggestions?

    The ticks are terrible this yr! Keep an eye out for the "bulls eye" at the site of the tick bite, that's a sign that they need to be treated for lyme disease. Treatment within the 1st 24 hrs is best.
    Here's a site that I've used to plant natural remedies around my yard. I have noticed less ticks on my dogs.
