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 ๐ป๐ฝ in Vermont ๐๐๐". I beg to differ, the homo sapiens inside of motor ๐ต ๐๐ vehicles, ๐๐๐๐จ๐จ, etc, are surely a greater cause of injury ๐ค and death โ ๏ธ๐ โผ๏ธ๐๐น

Sir, I resent you ๐ค๐ calling your fellow citizens "creatures", and homo sapiens. Next thing, you will be calling actors "thespians" โผ๏ธ
