HOUSEHOLD
R.D 3,
Human beings and dog ticks
share too cozy relationship
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.,
While men’s best friend
may be his dog, the coziest
relationship often exists
between man and his dog’s
ticks, entomologists at the
Penn State University have
observed. A study of ticks in
numerous homes was
carried out from 1974
through 1976 by Dr. Robert
Snetsinger, professor of
entomology, and Lee Gouty
of State College, former
graduate assistant in en
tomology.
“The most surprising
phase of our observation was
the apparent tolerance of the
dog’s ticks,” Dr. Snetsinger
stated. “Our examinations of
premises were made at the
request various dog
owners,” he sdded.
Even in wealthy or middle
class homes, large numbers
of brown dog ticks,
sometimes 100 or more,
were collected from mat
tresses and bedding.
Husbands complained about
ticks crawling on them
during the night. Small
children were seen who had
been bitten by ticks.

As entomologists, Snet
singer, and Gouty' were
interested in ridding
premises of ticks, they found
two new “tickicides” very
effective in treating homes,
he first chemical tested,
chlopyrifos, available as
Dursban, proved 100 per
cent effective in treating 16
homes. Pour homes were
free of the brown dog tick
after one treatment. Six
homes were free of ticks
after two treatments, and six
more homes were free of
ticks after three treatments.
The second chemcial,
bendiocarb, known as
Ficam-W, gave rapid
initial kill of brown dog ticks.
Nine homes were free of
ticks after one treatment and
three homes required a
second treatment after four
months. Both Dursban and
Ficam-W are cleared for use
against brown dog ticks by
the Environmental
Protection Agency.
“Extensive and regular
treatments of the premises
with“tickiqides” are
generally required,” Dr.
Snetsinger affirmed. “A

knowledge of the dog’s
habits where it sleeps, and
rest are important in an
effective control program,”
he added.
Treatment of the dog alone
by various means does not
rid buildings of ticks, the
Penn Staters pointed out,
since ticks spend con
siderable time off the “host”
in cracks, crevices, and
other niches. Owners were
urged to treat their dogs at
the time of household
spraying.
The spraying covered the
dog’s sleeping area; cracks
and crevices in walks,
baseboards, and under rugs;
and around the outer edges
of carpets; items of furniture
when necessary; and any
THE GOOD WORD from fh JBihh
“And as many as touched were made whole "
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Christ walked the earth today
and all who profess to be Christians might cure their ailments
and turn aside their problems by merely touching the hem of his
garment?
If there were miracles for people to see, think how
Christianity would grow and grow! Or, would it be so?
If you read the Bible, you know that one would not have to
be a Christian to touch the hem of Christ's garment Jesus never
asked the qualifications of one who called out for help Many
times he reminded his critics that his ministry was "to all
people "
Why, then, be a Christian? The answer is simple To be a
Christian is to follow the example of Christ, to obey God's laws.
This was the mission of Christ upon earth to show the way
We shall see no miracles, but if we follow God's way, we
shall be made whole.

During the 1960’5, the
brown dog tick spread to
every state and almost every
city in the nation.
Previously, it had been
known from Texas to Florida
and in a few urban areas, he
increase was due mainly to
increased pet travel. The
brown dog tick in the more
northern states is ex
clusively a resident of
homes, kennels, and
veterinary hospitals.
It is generally recom
mended that a professional
pest control expert be em
ployed for a tick control
program, rather than doing
it yourself.
