The good news is we are about to have the coldest week we've had since early January so hopefully it will rid us of some of these bugs.

I hear ya on the ticks man! They get real bad in MN where I'm at, central MN is worst in the country for ticke borne illnesses! :-(

The map (from 2015) really paints the picture.
Another interesting link: Forbidding Forecast For Lyme Disease In The Northeast Nasty nasty!
mark6 ... thanks for the links. I have attached the STinGa approved camping map. LOL
I ended up finding one more tick, attached, the following morning. He had planted himself about halfway between my belly button and right hip pocket. I wonder where he was hiding after I left the park. I wear a uniform at work, so I had completely stripped and re-dressed, with a quick once-over, after hanging and before work. Oh well. Just one of the hazards of spending time in the woods.

Lyme's disease is no joke. Had a close friend nearly die before he proper treatment.
I don't think there was actually a time this winter that we weren't finding the occasional tick on the dogs and cats here in Newnan.
