Isn't it time to take this discussion off this list? We are receiving too many emails unrelated to birds and birding, I think.

I take it back, actually it is the disease spreading spirochetes that control the ticks. Probably it is not good for the ticks too when the spirochetes are growing in them as they will be demanding nutrition from the ticks. So don’t blame the poor ticks. They are as helpless as we are!.

This is the season when ticks are most active. Even after it freezes, if it goes above freezing during the day, the ticks will be foraging for a blood meal. Only after continual hard frosts will they go dormant. Lyme disease is becoming more and more common around here.
