Ticks

Unfortunately, part of the wildlife that exists at Copper Dollar Cove are ticks. They like to inhabit wooded areas and fields with high grass. Those of us with dogs are pretty familiar with the wood tick. This is the time of year when the tick becomes most active. People who like to walk their dogs on the paths around the lake may want to check their dog very carefully for ticks before going back into the house even if the dog is wearing a flea and tick collar. Ticks are blood suckers and also like to attach themselves to people. To get more info on how to prevent ticks and how to remove them properly, see http://www.essortment.com/all/woodticks_rgjq.htm
