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.

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.

programs are offered without

The satisfaction that comes
from doing a good job
of farming
Liming is one of the most important factors
in keeping your soil in the highest pro
ductive range By raising the pH from a
level below 6 0 to 6 5 or higher, you can
expect to harvest 8 more tons of alfalfa
per acre, with similar increases for all
other forage and cash crops
