As someone who lives in the woods of the Ozarks: Every couple of days is not enough. If you're outside from April to November, you check.

- ghaff 3y agoYeah. It depends on the season and the year but I've had days around where I live in MA where, especially in the late spring, I can't walk a mile out through my field--which is typically short at that time of year--down to the river without finding multiple ticks on me when I get back. This was the case growing up in PA too but it's much more troublesome disease-wise these days.
- vlachen 3y agoThe forest around my house has be minimally cleared to include about a 30' gravel "yard" and there's no where to be safe from the damned ticks and chiggers. It always requires an application of something. Given the increase of Alpha-gal issues caused by the ticks locally, it's an absolute necessity.
