We have them on our cattle mineral feeders and they work extremely well...on our cattle.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse . . . . . . .
Now, we are being invaded by the Asian Tick!
These "aggressive biters" have a history of being worse on their hosts than our "native" ticks.
Folks, this may become somewhat akin to deer management what the Asian Carp have become to fish management!
Maybe this "globalism" isn't all it's cracked up to be?

Count me out. When I have to fight the flies and ticks I don't need one that bad.
I used permethrin in past, works well. I heard it lasts multiple washes, but never wash clothes during season, just before season. Then had a few ticks (probably seed ticks) on me in Dec, 20 degrees out, hunting on ground. Found out permethrin should be applied every 6 weeks. Saw online they are attracted to our CO2, so figures got some while on the ground. Ever deer or hog I shot had tons on their belly or in hide. Weird how they hide once you start field dressing...I won't see them again until I start skinning, never had one leave animal to attach on me. I avoid touching fur during skinning.
