7. We've noticed an increase in ticks in southern NH. We spray with a cedar-based product that helps repel them

pretty well. I always put some on my hair when I'm working outside because they sometimes drop from the trees. It's amazing to think I'd never even seen one until about 20 years ago and now I've had Lyme once and get bitten at least once a season. In an effort to control them, I try to entice opossums to live close by. They're known to control the population of both ticks and mice.
