Warm weather brings insects that FLEMINGTON, N.J. - If you own pets that like to roam through high grass or uncultivated fields, you’d better check them over when they return home. There’s a good possibility that they may have picked up some American dog ticks, or “wood ticks” as they are commonly called. Adult American dog ticks appear on dogs and other hosts soon after mid-April in Northwest Jersey. Their peak of activity is May and June. Look for ticks in and around the ears, back, between toes, stomach and under parts. In heavily in fested areas, daily inspections should be conducted through the tick season. If you or your pet should pick up a tick, try to remove the tick with its mouthpart intact. Grasp the tick firmly between your fingers or with tweezers and slowly but steadily pull it out. Treat the wound with a germicidal agent. The best way to protect your pets at weekly intervals is with a five percent Sevin dust or a com mercially-prepared tick and flea powder. These preparations may be purchased at pet shops or other stores that handle pet supplies. Longer protection can be obtained by dips or other preparations available at your veterinarian.

Rodnie Hershey will give a program on biking from coast to coast. pester pets are designed to discourage insects, like protective nets or shields to keep insects from a horse’s head and eyes. Repellants are also available but their effectiveness varies. Many products don’t last long because the horse’s sweat washes them away. Avoid petroleum-based repellants that can cause severe bums on the animal’s thin skin in hot weather. We recommend using repellant dusts, water-based sprays or wipes. It may have to be applied two times a day to be most ef fective. Avoid getting it in the horse’s eyes or on a mare’s udder. Good management can help control insect populations. Keep paddocks and stables clean and dry to eliminate breeding areas. Fans create movement that helps discourage insects in stables. Use residual sprays on walls and ceilings, and use fly baits only in areas where horses and children cannot come in contact with it. Horse owners are advised to have their horses vaccinated against Eastern and Western Encephalities by June 1. Mosquito transmittal of the disease can be avoided through immunization prior to the start of the mosquito season. The vaccination is, in effect, an insurance policy.
