I have never found evidence that grass cut short and free of leaves has any bearing on tick populations. I see it as a myth forwarded by the overly cautious. Leaf litter and longer grass, even natural yards are a boon to improved ecological balance. So to reiterate, I take exception to the tick advice above that implies monoculture yards are necessary for optimal tick control.

The title of your article is " The most dangerous creature ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ฝ in Vermont ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ‰". I beg to differ, the homo sapiens inside of motor ๐Ÿ›ต ๐Ÿš‘๐Ÿšœ vehicles, ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿš—๐Ÿš—๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ, etc, are surely a greater cause of injury ๐Ÿค• and death โ˜ ๏ธ๐Ÿ’€ โ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘น

Sir, I resent you ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿ˜Ž calling your fellow citizens "creatures", and homo sapiens. Next thing, you will be calling actors "thespians" โ€ผ๏ธ
