TICKS.......It's October and it’s THEIR SEASON!!! This one was just getting started, but if they feed for 5-6 days, they’ll increase in weight x100. They use all that blood to nourish 2,000+ eggs they will lay next Spring to start a new generation of ticks. Time to start tucking in your shirt and keep the ticks out as they crawl up. Oh, and treat your pet, too!
