Did you know that 2010’s acorn crop is contributing to this year’s increase inย ticks?
It’s notย the early hot weather that we’ve had. It’s acorns!
While browsingย Twitterย the other day, we came across a story that theย National Pest Management Associationย (@PestWorld) tweeted. To read their full article on the topic, you can follow this link:ย Acorns, Not Weather, to Blame for More Ticks.
Basically, the increase in the acorn crop led to an increase inย miceย eating the acorns. And with more mice, come more ticks. The science of pest control has a lot to do with the predator and prey food chain. One pest affects another pest.
