Re: RC: Ticks!

[Linda Cowles <lindac@gilroy.com>]

I need to go to the barn... am suddenly not sure if what I use is
permethrin or pyrethrin!!!

On ticks dropping from trees, the do rub off on bushes, because I go
lots of places that just me and the deer go when I'm hiking, and I've
actually seen them on the leaves of bushes... they sit there and hitch
hike, waving those front legs around to snag the passer by - I'm not
kidding!!!  Reach out for you just like a baby! 

They act like they can see infrared light, because they follow a heat
source.... amazing little bugs.

I'll post back the concentrates contents, price and brand name AFTER
Castle Rock - I have to get moving!
