Thanks for the timely post. It’s definitely going to be a tough deer tick season. I am the founder of Backyard Bug Patrol – we provide tick and mosquito eradication/protection services here in the Maryland/DC/Virginia area. We’ve recently published an article on our website about ways to safeguard against Lyme Disease. I thought I would pass it along as a means of more information for local residents.
