Aparently the tick problem in our state is also prevalent on my property.  Picked 3 more of nasty buggers off one of my dogs last night.  Anyone have any experience dealing with these things, tips or tricks I should know of to get rid of 'em?

They were EVERYWHERE up in Atlanta... Cut that one big pine down with Mark and his son and we were covered in them.  Lucky no reports of bites yet...

All on her head.  I'm buying some chemicals at TSC and spraying the hell out of my yard today.

Sprayed a lot of malathion, hopefully that takes care of the problem.
