Beware the coming explosion of tics!

With all the warm weather over the course of the 2011-12 winter be prepared for some consequences! While the winter temperatures have averaged over six degrees above normal with more warm weather in the forecast, all the little critter that we count on getting whacked are already coming out on some of the warmer days. Record deer populations, who have also been added by the heat, will also help to exacerbate the tic problems we can expect as we head in the early spring months.

I plan to get out on during the next warm day and see if I can discover some tics in my area. If I do find any, I post that information here.
