Thanks for confirming, Joe.
Just got some Malathian, and a sprayer they recommended on the label,,which ya hook up a hose to and set the mix.
Breaking the cycle--good idea.
One thing that should have helped is the extreme cold we've been having here in MD.
I dread having to pull ticks off the dog though,,,and worse, worrying about them in the house and on people.
Yecchhh.
OTOH, I look forward to hanging out in the backyard with the Mount Gay Rum flowing;)
