Lyme Disease Prevention Part III : Make Tick Tubes

Deer ticks are carried by deer but more commonly by the white-footed mouse. Reduce the amount of ticks a mouse is carrying and reduce the chance of having one bite you. Using the same chemical Permethrin, make tick tubes. You will need toilet paper or paper towel tubes (cut long ones in half), cotton balls and Permethrin spray. Wearing gloves in a well-ventilated area spray cotton balls with Permethrin on both sides and let dry. Stick approx. 10 cotton balls in each tube. Leave these tubes in areas where you have seen or suspect mice activity. Corners in your garage, near wood piles or under shrubs. The mice will take the cotton balls back to their nests and the chemical will drive the ticks from the nest reducing the number of ticks a mouse can carry. Voila! No harm to the mice and less ticks in your yard. Permethrin spray here: http://a.co/bTVcHjo Tick Tubes Video: http://bit.ly/2JokddY
