Awesome!! Thanks so much!

Absolutely! Glad it's helpful!

Good question and yes- Leptospira can squeeze through .22 micron pores, so you need to use .1 micron pore size filters. I hope this information helps!

Thanks very much for the positive feedback! Yes, their behavior is quite interesting and predictable. This means avoiding them in nature is somewhat possible by following simple rules, such as using 25%-30% DEET, certain areas in the forest, etc.

Hi- good questions! 1) Yes- ticks can detect carbon dioxide trails and can move around based on certain signals such as this. They can be found on trails that animals take (e.g.- if you are using a trail, it's possible mice are using it, too). Keep your yard grass short to help prevent this (less than 2 inches if possible). For dog ticks (D. variabilis), they are known to be nidiculous- this means they can set up in a dog house, etc. 2) DEET is a repellent- it repulses ticks, but won't kill them. Permethrin (sometimes marketed as Damminix- it's the same product as Nix for head lice) is an acaricide and should kill ticks shortly after exposure. Permethrin is also residual, so once you spray, it stays around for a prolonged period (usually up to 4-6 weeks, depending on rain exposure, etc.). I hope this information helps!
