I think the tubes have cotton or something similar that has been treated with permethrin, the mice take the cotton and use it in their nests and it kills any ticks on the mice. Maybe they are trying different insecticides or nesting materials to see what is most effective? It would be interesting to know what they are looking at.
Ticks always are the worst here very early in spring and very late in fall. I’ve had days late in the fall where I’ve picked 50+ ticks off my clothing. In the middle of the summer I go in the same woods with shorts on picking mushrooms and see a tick only rarely.

you are correct ,some of the tubes I noticed have something like cotton partially pulled out . this can be seen in my first pic showing the white sticker on the flag . that's pretty much how the ticks are here too . spring and fall are the worst . although we do get them any time of year .

Just had a tick crawling up my side as I came to sit down at my computer, hah.

My mom read somewhere recently that supposedly the U.S. admitted that lyme disease was invented as a bio weapon. I haven't looked into it but I have heard people saying that they believed this to be the case for years. My mom has a friend who's husband was in the military and aquired lyme. They seemed to believe that they had gotten hints that the bio-weapon theory was true. If this was the case, it would be weird to think that the worst problem with ticks for people, the fear of aquiring lyme, didn't used to be a problem.

I don't have lyme, but I have a virus that exhibits highly similar symptoms, and sometimes I wonder if they could be related in some way. There is no good way to get rid of these diseases that I am aware of, so anything that can help preventing them is interesting to me. It sucks to have an expected life sentence of just feeling out of sorts all the time.

I have heard this too about the military .

it'll take someone smarter than me to say if this is true or not . I read stuff and try to remember things that can help in my situation .

Spray your outdoor clothes monthly with 0.5% permethrin, keep some doxycycline on hand to take if you find one imbedded.
There are 2 viruses that are patented. Sars Cov II and Lyme disease. Anything that naturally occurs in the environment cannot be patented.

I don't know much about permethrin, I'll have to look into it. The problem I usually find with tick protection is that something that is toxic the the little buggers tends to also be toxic to people, it just takes more time for a person to manifest any impact. I never liked deet. Never heard of doxycycline, so I guess that's another thing to add to my ever expanding research list.
