Well gee whiz. Who the heck wants enough spiders to keep ticks under control? Especially in the house.
Ditto!
Jeez, I didn't think this thread could get any worse and then you've got to bring spiders into it?
Spiders, Dragonflys, Praying Mantises even ladybugs are natural pest control. They gotta eat too! The problem with spraying outside as well as killing the ticks you kill all the beneficial bugs too.
Nothing like a few mantises and spiders in your garden to keep the pests under control. Costco here sells Mantis egg cases for pest control. Fun eh? If you can't beat 'em get someone to eat 'em!
Snakes.....I have two in the house, in the bedroom, they eat rats and mice, you know.
A gecko would eat the ticks, spiders, and any other bug crawling around, and they can climb the walls to hunt their prey.
i used to have a gecko......
i also have cats, a gecko wouldn't last 5 minutes in my house.....
and my snake is a python, and he has gone off his food since jan., so maybe he will eat some ticks......
i will call my landlord. Hopefully, he will cover the cost. He might try to say that because i have dogs.....
but so far, i have seen about 10 ticks in my house, just in the house. about 4 on me or a guest. Only 2 on any of the dogs, and we were in the woods when i found them, about 20 minutes from my house.
I would rather have spiders....oh wait, i do! and bees in my chimney, and japanese wasps.......
normally, i am chill with nature. But not when they get in my house.

I'm not sure if you're joking so...Do not feed your python ticks.. Ticks love python and extracting them from a POed snake is a pain in the butt.
Ticks can live dormant for years and you'll never see them until something warm walks by. I'd just have your landlord send out the orkin guy and generally they'll evaluate and take care of the whole issue. Generally we'll have them out in the spring to take care of the yellowjackets and paper wasps. (Bee sting = me dead)
