Poultry works well, but if you need more help then that.

We have two roaming gangs of guineas. No ticks for over a year now.

I have a tick removal team patrolling my yard, all the ticks they can eat, and fresh water available.
They also clean up the feeding station of any loose food the community cats spill.

I was just looking into this and found 'organic sulfer powder' on Amazon for $32. I might give that a try. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has tried it.

I use granular sulfer to keep snakes away! Also keeps chiggers away!

In all the years we've been on this property I've seen 1 tick. I'm sure there's more.

I got a tick off me yesterday and another this morning. This afternoon I spent a couple hours in the woods. Probably gonna find another one tonight.

Anyway, looks like it's gonna be a bad year for ticks... be on the lookout!

I've picked 2 off myself just out walking the yard and workin the beds

You and Peanut need some flea and tick dip!!

Picked one off my son a couple days ago.
I'm always in the woods but if a tick bit me, it'll probably die from alcohol poisoning within seconds. (yea, I'm a heavy drinker).

I've got a can of pymethrin I need to spray my work clothes with. It stays on for quite a while before treating again. But need to do it the day before you plan to wear them

Didn't you post concrete was good for keeping chiggers away????

My city neighbors think so, lol!!

Opossums in the yard and DEET on the pants cuffs= no chigs or ticks.

Yep, got another tick last night. Sat in my chair a few more minutes but couldn't stand the though... So, i got yet another shower. Maybe they went down the drain.

This time of year the ticks are tiny, nymphs. Can't see their tiny legs even with my 2x readers. When they are that small i can't feel them crawling. When they get a little bigger then i can feel them and catch them before they bite.

not a chance....
we live in a forest on top of a mountain in a Lyme tick infested area
Repell ( DEET) and a few days of antibiotics after you get bit by one
Dogs get Bravecta

I too read where sulfer keeps them away. Wonder if it is safe for animals?

I use sulphur all spring, summer, fall!! Granular for snakes, powder on me and the critters!!

Thanks Pearl! I gotta get some. We got a few stray cats that we have been capturing and getting fixed. And I know they have ticks with being in the woods hunting. Plus with the chickens I just wasnt sure. Do you just spread the dust around in your yard? Do you get yours at the farm store?

I get granular sulphur at my feed store. I put in a spreader and spread it around the house, yards, sheds, pool. That also takes care of chiggers.

I keep some Sulphur blocks out for the livestock.

Guineas are great for ticks.

Opossums are good also. We have a roaming opossum or two that we see every so often.

That's why I let Opossum Paul hang around. He hangs out with the cats! Pretty sure I have convinced Bear he's just a funny looking cat!
