Thanks for that link. Good thinking there. Sounds very nice, indeed. Can't help but think that this could be done for a mere fraction of the cost.

Note to all: denim is the favorite material of ticks

Didn't the late Dr. Masters of MO also invent some sort of tick killing device? Stationary, not mobile, as I recall.

Cool! I'll take two, one for the front, one for the back. Then I won't have to worry about DH mowing the lawn

My boys could even learn to do it finally! I won't let them do it now for fear of ticks.

I think this thing could be back-ordered for quite awhile, if it really works! Maybe we could become employed, making them!

The theory is right,,,sounds like it should work.

For those areas so designed. Wonder what odd shaped areas with hard surface in middle,,,including tree obstacles do?

Is this like a 'Rumba' or is there a driver like remote controlled?
