Ticks

[linny]

I HATE dealing with ticks on the animals. Some people are wigged out by spiders, some people hate germs. I had parasites. I really, really hate parasites. So I really hate dealing with ticks.

Any tips to make it easier to keep the animals tick-free?

Guinea fowl do a great job keep property free of ticks. I usually keep 4 on my small farm, and I rarely find ticks on my dogs or cats. Chickens eat ticks as well, but guinea fowl are the best at tick control.
