I have to get one of those tick removers. The tweezers on my Swiss army knife are useless.<br /><br />Cathy, I am phobic about them, so of course they are turning up right next to the house. And thanks, we like him pretty well. Gotta get him a new axe handle though.<br /><br />Shirley, OMG, where are you!?!? I swear I would move to get away from them. We actually have an excellent wood splitter that runs off the tractor. However, we only have one functional tractor at this point and it is engaged in chopping and hauling feed.<br /><br />Joated, I just happened to read your post on it. We are going to keep an eye out for one. The tweezers on my Swiss army knife are not up to the job.<br /><br />threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-50188322141363615182012-10-24T12:08:59.243-04:002012-10-24T12:08:59.243-04:00Like I said at my place, the Tick Twister tick re...Like I said at my place, the Tick Twister tick remover (http://www.ticktwister.com/)did a great job. Got it at Agway.<br /><br />Ruth (aka Scary Yankee Chick http://www.scaryyankeechick.com/) also mentioned it in a comment to me. Her comment and my purchase happened to cross paths--I had bought it before I saw her comment--but it was nice to have confirmation from someoneelse. joatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415726428637484056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-88867955862487764732012-10-24T09:41:01.203-04:002012-10-24T09:41:01.203-04:00Since I have lived at this current place,no ticks-...Since I have lived at this current place,no ticks- bonus! Peppermint oil will back them out in a hurry. <br />No more splitting wood for me, my husband just built a log splitter but if I had a strappin' youngster like that around, I'd have him splitting wood too.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454110560303310751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-77065338271436592152012-10-24T09:02:45.473-04:002012-10-24T09:02:45.473-04:00PS.

Dog ticks, not deer ticks. I can't find my tick remover and I need help to ease out the things with tweezers.
