Ticks, the very reason I quit turkey hunting. I hate them, but they seem to love me. We found a tick in our house a couple weeks ago, and I suspected it came in on our shih tzu dog. He takes pills to keep them from biting him, but apparently they still get on his hair. •Fast forward to Sunday, we were sitting in Church, my daughter is playing with my 10 year old sons hair, she said Dad look, sure enough a tick buried in his scalp. It was a real fiasco trying to get it out. •This evening, after I got home from work, we let the dog out in the yard to do his business. He was just in the short grass that I mow, when he came back toward the house I noticed a dark spot on his side . It was a large tick in his fur. He had picked one up that fast. After I got it off him, I decided to gone in and put on shorts. Halfway up my thigh was another dang tick. He wasn’t stuck yet, thank goodness.
I’ve got to do something, apparently they’ve hatched out around my house? I’ve never owned any guinea’s, but I’m about to buy some. I also went to Walmart and bought some bags of the granular insect killer for your yard.
If anyone has some suggestions, I’m all ears. Thanks, Robinhedd

Permethrin!! Kills ticks. Btw, what type of flea and tick meds do you use on your dogs?

I’ve been giving the dog Bravecto, but it apparently doesn’t stop the ticks from getting on him. It only stops them from biting him.

Martin's Permethrin 32%. You can dilute it to whatever mixture you want. Order it if you can't find it locally
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

you can spray the yard with permethrin mixed to .5% with no affect to the grass I spray our yard perimeter and around the house every year it will kill everything. This is the way to go and hit your pets, follow the instructions. You can also spray hunting clothes and they are good for the season. Get some cotton balls spray with as well then put in paper tubes place out in the yard around structure. Rodents will take for bedding and kill the ticks at nesting.

Sounds crazy but my dad did this for years at the horse barn and I've been doing it to our yard for years and don't have any bug problems at all. Take one of those weed and feed spray bottles that go on your hose mix half and half scope and Dawn. Spray yard and everything in the yard with it. Bushes, patio furniture everything . Knock on wood but I do this every 2 weeks and no flies, ticks, mosquitos , flies etc. Fire ants it doesn't work on them bastages .
