It will all come out in the wash.

This old truism took on a new and unwelcome meaning today when my wife was removing sheets from the dryer and shaking each, as is her habit. When snapped, one discharged a black-legged tick, fully alive and ready to wander off to other adventures. Bet decided that a tour of the septic system would be a fitting next destination, and away it went.
If laundry won’t work to rid clothes of ticks, perhaps the only remaining tactic would be to hang them on the clothesline and let the birds pick them clean.

Get some chickens for the yard. They eat ticks! We have 2 next door neighbors, each have chickens lose in their yards daily. Tick population is way down. Only 1 since last year.

I think I might prefer the ticks to the flies the chickens attract. Good suggestion, though.
