I live in NSW, and our area is apparently riddled with paralysis ticks (have been here for about a year).
I thought they were a summer problem, but I have been removing ticks from my dog, myself and my baby all through winter.
I have been gradually removing all overgrown areas in my large garden, but this has had no effect on the tick population.
Any further suggestions? Can I plant pyrethrum daisies or something? I fear the problem will worsen over summer, and I want to be able to enjoy my garden.
Also, any suggestions for dealing with the tick bites- have huge itchy welts allover my body?
