Tick...TOCK!

Sagadahoc County is the epicenter of deer tick life in Maine. Both householders at The Crotch have had lyme disease, not seriously. This horrible disease can cause severe neurological damage. Although people think the disease is carried by deer, a more important and immediate carrier is RODENTS. These lil creatures scurry through the woods, and ticks hop on for the ride. While the coyotes are working their magic on the deer, it is up to your bloggah to take on the rodent community. As of yesterday, chipmunk season was open, and the count so far is two. You should know that these cute lil tick-bearers are terminated humanely; that is, they are zapped with the rat zapper!
