Today when she went back to pick it up and see if all the bees seemed to be moved into the swarm trap she saw the ticks on it. I always thought ticks were attracted to white probably because of how many I get under my socks but that could just be a convenient location for them so never had anything else to back up my thoughts. Tell now. So I believe they are attracted to white. What do you think? THIS IS WHY I DON"T TURKEY hunt in spring anymore.........

FYI for a legitimate survey 50' X 50' plot had to have 100+ ticks on the cloth, couple times had that many on me at end of the day. Then learned that soaking BDU'S in 1 Oz of Permethrin concentrate in 5 gals of water allow to air dry could survey all day without single tick on self or uniform Last edited by Jingles; 04/15/24 03:17 PM.

I have read that fire is hard on ticks. Now if we could get the deer herd reduced down to a reasonable level we could maybe go back to what it was once like around here. No ticks at all.
