worth the ticks??? and PICS - 7/31/2006 3:56:56 PM    digginbot247   Posts: 41 Joined: 4/20/2005 Status: offline Took a walk in the woods saturday and stumbled on four bottle necks sticking up out of the ground. Two of them are thick black glass no markings the others are thinner and more of a olive green. All of them are oval shaped at the bottom and look very old the necks tilt back when they are standing straight up will post some pics of them later if i can get the camera to work. Oh yeah got at least 1,000 ticks and almost as many chiggers winter digging is much nicer.

RE: worth the ticks??? - 8/1/2006 9:17:23 PM    DiggerBryan   Posts: 893 Joined: 12/3/2004 From: Ohio Status: offline I have a simliar problem... The town dump I found is a wooded area and it is loaded with mosquitoes. I know it sounds like I'm a wussy but they are by far the worst I've ever been in. I've tried all kinds of repellants, the last one I tried was OFF Deep Woods. It had very little effect. So I guess I will just have to wait until Fall to check the dump out. _____________________________ Life is easy with your eyes closed. (in reply to towhead) Post #: 9

I place four of them in a square and they work pretty good. Skitters really seem to hate that stuff. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ http://www.bornagainamerican.org (in reply to DiggerBryan) Post #: 10

I gave it some thought before but then I thought I might burn down the wooded area.  I actually can't wait to get into this dump the undergrowth is verrrry thick though and as mentioned the mosquitoes are terrible. _____________________________ Life is easy with your eyes closed.

LoL  The coils come with neat little holders and burn like incense and they don't smell to bad either. The sketters really do hate them. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ http://www.bornagainamerican.org (in reply to DiggerBryan) Post #: 12

RE: worth the ticks??? and PICS - 8/3/2006 6:14:10 PM    JGUIS   Posts: 1931 Joined: 3/18/2006 From: New Lexington, OH Status: offline I usually use deep woods Off, but I saturate the clothes I'm going to wear digging before putting them on.  I let them dry a little before putting them on and leaving.  I don't know if it would work or not, but hair spray works for fiberglass insulation and poison ivy, maybe it would keep the skeeters from penetrating too? _____________________________ Problems are not solved by the same level of thinking that created them.
