What I have read, is the greatest purveyor of ticks is mice. So, you save the cardboard tubes from you toilet paper and paper towels. Then you go to the craft store and get a bag of pillow stuffing. Treat the pillow stuffing with Permethrin. Put a small bunch in the tube and leave them outside so mice will grab some and take it to their dens.
+1. We do this on property we hunt but we use cotton balls instead of pillow stuffing. Treats nice, squirrels, birds...anything that will make a nest with it. Order the permethrin in concentrate (permethrin sfr) and mix it yourself it will save a bunch over premixed. Good results as tick numbers have dropped!
