Speaking of Ticks, you cant do anything without ticks all around in FL. One thing that works, especially for the tiny ones crawling on you, is to have a tube of glue handy. Just put a little on a straw and touch the tick with it. When I was horse camping in Wekiva State Park, we used to take a can of tick powder and make a circle around our sleeping bag. Dont know if you can do that now, due to new environment rules.
