The cat, at 1:11, looks at the camera like "mom, they stole MY mouse..."

How does diatomaceous earth help manage ticks? Just curious... Not sure where you would find some.

Combined with Kazoo's garlic, all you need now is a wooden stake and you've declared war on vampires.

The diatomaceous earth is like micro slivers of broken glass. It kills most insects. Don't use it on flowering plants as it will kill the bees. We get ours at Big R. I put it on the cat, dog, & horses. Like talcum powder on their fur. Make sure you get "food grade".

We used diatomaceous earth in our swimming pool filters and bought it in big bags. It wasn't very expensive.

It's easy to find on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...omaceous+earth

They are bloodsucking vermin.
Wooden stakes would work, but may be a bit inefficient.

Do NOT use swimming pool filter diatomaceous earth. ONLY USE FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH. You want the stuff that is like talcum powder. You can even feed it to your horses and it will cut down on the flies.

For the record, most of the stuff in the attached link was "food grade". I think there was only 1 item there for a pool filter.

That's just bizarre!

Well, I've opened a second, southern front in the war on ticks. My dogs don't get anywhere near tall grasses or weeds and they still pick these little bastards up. I've tried natural treatments and the topical treatments. Still finding the little fuckers. I seem to be finding them in the early life stage because they're often very tiny as you can see.

I know I revived a 3 year old thread but I got tired of talking about all the drama caused by the radical, leftist, bloodsucking parasites. Oh...wait.
