That's the problem, it is SUPER hard to avoid long grass...especially the real natural parks [which have the neatest trails], that don't do much more than mow a strip of grass [if that, many are just worn down by foot]. I've taken Ro out on the one that is well kept [wide gravel path laid and mowed on both sides], and he still picks up 3-5. I spend weeks with 'phantom tick' syndrome, where I constantly feel one on me.
I have read about some of those natural remedies to help repel them, just hard to know which ones 'really' work...I'll check out that rose geranium oil. I think it would be ideal to try something like frontline and hopefully something to repel them to decrease the risk.
I hate ticks with a passion and I just know with Rips coat type, I'm going to have issues.
