Just read a site tonite about putting a one-pound block of dry ice in a styrofoam container with holes in it on heavy cardboard edged with masking tape, sticky side up. The Co2 emission will last for three hours and attract ticks within 75 sq ft, so sez the site. Anyone done this before, and does it work?

I tried it last year.
Didn't work.

At a summer camp I worked at they put dry ice in a cave after a camper was diagnosed with Lyme.
It was dark and they said they immediately heard really loud rustling and when they put the flashlight on the ice, it was COVERED with ticks.
They collected the ticks and got them tested.....guess what, they ALL were positive for Lyme!
