ST. LOUIS - The National Corn
Growers Association has stongly
urged President Reagan to im
mediately establish an

Flea, tick control
NEWARK, DE -
Unfortunately, the
summer weather that
brings sunshine, pic
nics, cookouts and fun
also brings ticks and
fleas. Pet owners, in
particular, know how
hard it is to control
these persistent pests.
But relief is available.
The Delaware
Cooperative Extension
Service has new, up
dated information
sheets on ticks and fleas
to help with iden
tification and control.
The fact sheets were
prepared by University
of Delaware extension
entomologist Mark
Graustein.
Many people don’t
realize, Graustein says,
that three different
kinds of ticks infest the
Delaware area-the
American dog tick, the
brown dog tick, and the
black legged tick
each of which present a
different problem.
Fortunately, few of
the 1,600 varieties of
fleas normally pester
humans. Only cat fleas
are common in this
region, although others
turn up occasionally,
the specialist says.
The fact sheets
describe the insects’
habits and emphasize
the potential health
hazards of flea bites and
tick-borne diseases such
as Rocky Mountain
spotted fever and Lyme
disease.
The publications also
offer tips on insect
removal from pets and
humans, and outline
procedures for safe
pesticide use to control
ticks and fleas both
indoors and outdoors.
