In New England letting grasses flourish would also provide a home for ticks and Lyme disease. I try to be friendly to pollinators but unfriendly to ticks.

- jdhawk 7y agoGet a couple chickens? I'm only partially joking, they do eat a ton of ticks.
- tharne 7y agoYup. Prior to spraying our yard, the majority of my family contracted Lyme disease.
- dbingham 7y agoEncourage possums to move in. Indiana has its share of ticks, but we also have plenty of possums. Chickens are another option. This is about learning how to fit ourselves comfortably in to nature - because pretending we can be above, outside, or removed from it is sending us careening towards disaster.
