I don't have a tick puller, but I had doused them with rubbing alcohol and after a little bit they back out - catch and squish (rolling the bottle cap over it).

I feel like we've been sick just about every other week this spring so far. I'm so tired of being sick. I just want a nice weekend where we aren't sick and aren't getting pressured into going to some stupid event. I still haven't planted most of the seedlings I started yet, they are going to get root bound or die if they haven't done so already.
And I'm really frustrated I missed most of my irises blooming this year. I can see the stalk, so I know they bloomed, but I didn't get to see them flower and take a picture.

Still fighting rats going after the rabbit food. I kept setting the rat trap but it was always empty and snapped the next time I went out. But it was clearly moved and not where I'd left it, although the tether was still on. Then two days ago I found a rat head in it, no body just a messed up head. So I think I have been catching rats the whole time and something is just coming along and eating the rat. I know there's still rats because of the poop, but I have decreased the numbers at least a little.

Add me to that list - gets rats and anything else that happens into it.

I bought a squirrelinator last year, I need to dig that out and try it.
