i have a thought to all those fighting the tick and lyme disease problem.
i have seen many posts on ideas to controll theese pests by eliminating the deer population.
Instead, since most states goverments take a active claim to ownership of theese animals, why don't we just insist they treat theese animals with a topical tick killer with a aoutomatic feeding system ,and let the deer wipe out all the (deer ticks)?
this works well with fleas in the home, by using the pet to attract them and spread the poison.
