Depends on how many fleas you "Hammered" on the way in and out!

These poor coyotes are tick infested bad this year.
Last couple of days.

Ticks qualify, so yes definitely "bug hole." One reason I don't run my dogs in the sage flats in the spring. Horrible ticks! Hard to believe with all your water you could find some dry cracked ground!

Drys out pretty quick, as long as it stops coming from the sky.

Had a coyote saunter across backyard at 10AM this morn. No time to grab anything. Feeding momma feeding pups full 24/7 duty. Have something special ready in case does again.

One rifle stands sentinel duty by the back door for errant coyotes, beavers or raccoons. Course, no kids here.

Good shooting riceman.

The rain/standing water drives the ticks up on to the vegetation, coyotes/ critters get in the veg and the ticks get a free ride/meal.

Usually bad after a wet season.

I’ve walked into areas where you could see dozens of em near the tops of tall weeds that laid over into game trails. All with their thumbs out, hitchhiking.

I’ve gotten em in my hair (when I was a kid), fishing cattle ponds at a dairy.


Usually find a couple here and there in my clothes during deer season but have only had one or two actually bite me. Never embedded.

One that bit was a pajahuello tick. (Look it up.) It’s a nasty soft bodied tick that looks like a piece of dirt. I had a big red area around the bite for a while even tho I pulled it off as soon as I felt it. No ill effects, but boy was it disgusting.

California wastes it all.

Governor News-solini and company Can’t fear monger drought, wildFire, climate crisis and food shortages if there’s water everywhere.

Well done riceman.
I don't think I'd bring them in the house.

@riceman are you going to get the crop in the ground this year?

 

[riceman]

I believe that we will. We started about 3 weeks later than we normally do.
Running everything pretty hard and omitting planned projects.
Starting to fertilize tomorrow
Need to cover 2000 ac. @70-100 a day, we have 30 days left.
