Ever get out-fished?

It's a ***** for ticks this year. So far, I've gotten at least one on me every time I go outside.
The ONLY good thing about fire ants (Venezuela’s gift to the south) is that they eat ticks. I used to be a walking tick magnet. We had to use various treatments to kill them off the dogs and we sprayed the cattle about every 3-4 months to give them some relief.

Since fire ants were accidentally introduced, the animals and I can walk all over the pasture and very seldom catch a tick. However, the fire ants are also a *****. Basically traded one devil for another.
