Luckily we don't have the Lone Star Tick up here. Are you sure? I thought I have seen them and a distribution map from 2011 shows they are in IN up to state line. Maybe the far northern range.

Luckily we don't have the Lone Star Tick up here. I've seen them in Greene County and ended up with "turkey mites" in Brown and Greene counties. Turkey mites are actually the larva of lone star ticks and make chiggers seem like a party. My dad had to get a steroid shot for turkey mites the first time he got them.

They're all over Lawrence and Monroe counties as well. I keep spare clothes and boots in the vehicle in the summer, as I end up getting into hundreds of those turkey mites several times every year.

I've seen Turkey ticks turn the biggest and strongest men into screaming little girls running out of the woods. Evil

We get covered in them in Monroe and brown counties throughout the summer/fall. We always spray with permethrin and keep duct tape at the ready to pull those suckers off. They are no fun at all.

I know they like pine needles. Years ago I was changing a broken axel on my ford 9N , I had hit a hole while bush hogging for my sister. I was laying down in the pines on a nice bed of needles when I noticed the ground was covered with ticks, millions of em. I’ve never seen so many ticks than in those pine needles on the ground. Yuk! That's interesting what time of year was it? I wanna say it was late August-early September. I don’t know if ticks lay their eggs in the dead pine needles or what they were doing there.

Well that's it, I'm going to buy a flock of Guinea's I hear those things are excellent watch dogs and they love to chew on ticks.

Hope you have good windows and soundproofing in the house. Neighbor had a dozen of them, well the kids did for 4H. I couldn't hear a deer walking on dry leaves sitting in a treestand 300 yds from the birds.

I went for a hike looking for sheds today. I came back home by following a creek bed. I pulled 7 ticks off my shirt.

Time to break out the permethrin.
