Tuck your trouser legs into your socks and put insect repellent on your neck and wrists .
Ticks hang out on blades of grass or leaves waiting for an animal to brush past them . Then latch on to us and start crawling towards the warmth of major blood vessels groin , neck , under arms and scalp .
They do not fall from above onto your head like I was told as kid . They crawl up from your arms or body .
Block their access to your body and they have a lot harder time fcking with you .
Thanks for sharin

Don't use DEET to keep ticks off you! That's some poisonous shit you're rubbing on your skin and clothes..
Buy some very finely powdered sulfur dust, available at most garden stores.
Take an old sock and put about half cup of sulfur in it...
Before you go walking thru the woods or grasslands, lightly beat the sock on your socks, top of your boots and entire pants legs.
You'll see the light coating of sulfur dust on you.
It will keep ticks and chiggers off you better than anything else...
I've been using this method for more than 25 years....
I really don't like spraying DEET or other strong chemicals on my skin or clothing...
If you try my tip with the sulfur in a sock, I think you will find that it works pretty darn well....for ticks and chiggers...
You can put the sock in a zip-lock baggie and carry it with you, so you can re-apply it on extended walks thru the woods...
PS.. you can buy the powdered sulfur in almost any garden supply store, farmer's co-op, or most hardware stores..

My dog is going to get her Lyme disease vaccine.
Why can't they make these for humans?
I had Lyme back in 2005. I lost 63 pounds. Staid skinny for 7 years
Diatomaceous earth could probably help with fleas, can put on animal fur/spread around the floor in home.
Took net off figured it would trap too much moisture. These bitches are thick af. Id say pistols
Next week.

You know what I think you led me to getting some DE last year, thanks. I usually mix a little in my soil now. Also I have a bad snail, slug problem and a guy told me to spread DE around the plants and that's helped tremendously. I've used beer, snail,slug bait, but DE seems to keep them away better. It couldn't hurt I'll get my wife to hold her and put some on, I hate cats!!! Damn kittens have got a infestation of fleas and yea they like me alot, I've gave most the kittens away but the fleas stayed.
Your problem is that you're afraid to spray your buds.
If you don't get 100% coverage you will continue to have problems. As long as airflow is good you should never have any problems spraying your buds. (and I mean drenching the buds with whatever it is that you are using at the time) I've only ever experienced bud rot when my plants STAY wet from extended periods of rain (spray). It shouldn't be a problem with proper ventilation.
On that note, You can use high CO2 to kill ALL of the borg in your room.
HOWEVER...
They're smart critters and have ways to hide from that as well.
Namely by leaving the area!
Being that you are indoors You've got to clean the entire house and treat the entire house as if it is infected.
I had a buddy get a super bad case of the borg & he didn't know what to do.
I went ballistic on them (the borg)!
First I sprayed with a mixture of Neem oil, capsasin & soap every three days for five applications.
As well I got a bag of Diatamaceous Earth and dusted the carpet with it and layed it out in the corners of the room. It was dusty every time a person walked in the room for about two weeks until it was vacuumed up.
I did the exact same for a room I had that was located on the edge of a wheat field.
Neither room has had issue with the borg since. That was nearly 10 years ago!
It's has been about a month since I checked my girls. Went to water and nothing but 4-6 inches of stalk. Not a fresh cut. Hatchet or big knife. 4 of them. PCK\MalAwi, Carmel King, Lemon Dizzle. They were nice and big. I try not to leave a trail. People do run dogs around. Only thing I know is that it is a kick in the gut. Personal stash. Sucks big time. I didn't stick around to investigate.
