[GBlist] responsible land stewardship

["John H. Alderman III" <mountice@bellsouth.net>]

We had ticks on our property when we first moved here. I did some things to
promote wild birds . We also came with our four dogs which are tick
magnets. They have the treatments on the skin on their backs which kills
fleas and ticks. I don't think I have had a tick in years on me. I do
however have a lovely infestation of LadyBugs, Praying Mantis, and dirt
daubers. We have some fire ants. I just hadn't realized or even thought
about ticks.
John
