- salynchnew 5y agoAnts, birds, and spiders are all tick predators. FWIW, it sounds like there is a lack of natural predators for ticks in your area.
- nemacol 5y agoYou are right, I forgot ticks. This spring while hunting mushrooms I would pick 10+ off of my pants after every trip out. I have a pill bottle with dozens of them from taking the dogs for a walk. almost always itty bitty little devils.
- adrian_b 5y agoI believe that bugs (Heteroptera) might be more resistant to common pesticides than other insects. Where I live, in Europe, several species of bugs have become quite abundant in recent years. On the other hand, most other kinds of insects, e.g. butterflies, dragonflies, beetles, crickets, grasshoppers, various kinds of wasps and flies etc. have become exceedingly rare compared to how abundant they were when I was young.
