Recommended Posts

its been over 12 years since i was back at home.i hunted all over north wales for 20 years

and never ever had one tick, why has it got so bad now?

the tick issue is getting worse every year over there never mind over here also.

whats changed?

 

was chatting with a mate here and he said they never really were a problem here until 20yrs ago.

just to add our winters are over 4 months of temps below -20c atleast.how the fck do they survive that?

  Hedgehog fleas are specific to hedgehogs, they will not live on dogs or cats.

Taught me summat  I thought cats get em off hedgpigs  they can transmit  but the hedge pig flea won't live on them. Cool   Archaeopsylla erinacei hedge pig flea..
