Understood. Wasn't trying to change anyone's mind. Lots of pests I have no use for—like anything that crawls on, bites, stings, or otherwise annoys me.

coincidentally my daughter got bit yesterday by a tick. 30 miles from where i got bit. apparantly there is a population explosion of them this spring, which is surprising considering how cold it was this winter. first time either of us had ever been bitten by a tick.

They take cover under debris, etc. until it is warm enough to come out again. A good site explains it.

They are there just under cover til it warms up again. Probably a good reason to get the leaves and such off of your lawn in the fall. We mow a huge area as well. Also, chickens of all kinds really clean them up.
