I think I remember a while ago someone posted a link about a machine/device that someone made to attract ticks and kill them? I would love to have one of these and get the little pests tested.

Does anyone have the link? [confused]

Wow, I don't think I've ever heard of a tick collecting machine and do not know if one does exsist or not.

However, my parents own some guineas which they keep in their yard and they are supposed to be good for picking off and eating up ticks.

It was really funny, I think it was like a robot [Eek!]

If I can't find it I will buy a few hundred guineas. [Cool]

Its a machine that puts out carbon monoxide.

I have emailed the inventors and have a list of sponsors we can contact and encourage to build their machine.

PM if you are interested.
