[GBlist] responsible land stewardship



Hi everyone,
 
This isn't a building question, but I thought maybe some of you might have some insight about this problem since it is a land stewardship issue.
 
We have a little over 2 acres that are thickly wooded with mostly pines, wax myrtles and various other trees.  The ticks are outrageous.  I don't know what to do.  I keep finding ticks on my kids and my husband has already gone through one course of antibiotics for lyme disease.  I don't want to poison the forest to kill the ticks.  I've been told that guinea fowl are good at decreasing tick populations, but does anyone on this list have any other ideas for non-toxic tick reduction?
 
Any thoughts on this subject would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Elizabeth
