Default July Is Tick Killing Month.,,, Save The Mice!!

Tick Tubes seem to be all the rage,, mice are one of the main transports and breeding areas for ticks. If you want rid of ticks, a good start is treating mouse nests.

July is the month mice build nests, to have their young,, the mice love to line their nest with cotton balls.

This video is under one minute

Then beyond the tick tube, is this tick killing machine,,
if it does not kill ticks, it will at least make ALL the local deer happy,,,

Do I bait this barrel with corn, a small salt block,, or molasses??

Maybe all three!!

I gotta keep the mice healthy,, so I can catch them in my repeating mouse trap,,,

Ticks...

It's all out war on them at our homestead. There are many ways to battle them. We have guineas, chickens, and we keep our land clear of overgrowth as much as possible, and there is one thing that I think doesn't get enough attention that I heard about from my cousin who heard about it from somewhere else, and I tried it and we hardly see a tick anymore. I've only seen a couple this year, and one was attached to me and gave me a pretty bulls-eye, but I don't know if it even came from my yard. In years past we've seen dozens and dozens by this time, either crawling on us or in the house crawling somewhere. Keep the grass short and dust pulverized limestone all over it. The ticks crawl through it and the lime scratches their "shell" and they dry out and die.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
