[QUOTE="tbadon, post: 5145882, member: 21566"] Had an old farmer tell me that we didn't start getting ticks bad until the the deer populations grew. This coincided with the rise in small mammal populations after DDT did a number on the environment in the 50's and 60's. One of the very warm winters we had in the 90's had a late freeze(April 25th if I recall correctly). We had been above 80 degrees for weeks, including the day before the front came through. Went down to 25 that night. I saw 3 ticks total that summer. Seems that if they have no warning to take cover, the cold will kill them. [/QUOTE]
