Ticks

[DFSC]

Does anyone have any good remedies or is there a block or something that can be put out?

Before my husband got his blood clot and had to be put on blood thinner, he took garlic pills.  He swears by them.  I'm assuming you meant yourself.  Don't try frontline lol  good for dogs, but not you lol (lol)

I have heard rub down with Irish Spring soap, don't know if it works or not.

I think the guys from Texas have a huge problem w/ this. Maybe they can give some suggestions.

We have horrible tick problems in our bluestem pasture in north Texas.  No fancy remedies, but your common pour on wormers will kill them to a certain extent.  Some pastures we spray their ears with a blue spray that contains permethrin.  That's about all you can do every so often.

Thanks Chambero. I feel you we have the same problem down here. I just hope those one's from Mexico don't start migrating this way.

Ok, sorry I just reread this post and realized you were wanting info for the cows )), Irish Spring probably won't work for them. (clapping)

Aye, but they'll sure smell purty!  (clapping)
