It's time to start thinking about Lyme disease season

Springtime is just ahead. Now is the time to start thinking about lyme prevention. Here are a couple of quick thoughts:

- order any guinea keets or chicks
- put out mouse bait such as contrax. Mice are a key part of the lyme cycle.
- repair any deer fencing . Deer are another part of the lyme cycle
- clean up leaf debris. Tick eggs live under the leaves
- check vaccinations for pets
- make sure you will have enough tick repellant to start the season

Ticks hate sunlight and dryness. So a little prevention now will go a long way layer.
