I took my two oldest daughters (2 & 4) on an overnight camping trip last night. It was great...but the camp grounds were littered with ticks (VERY small, like pepper flakes) I removed one from each of us before nightfall and one each after returning home....despite wearing deepwoods off.
The question is....I took the "new - less than a year old" family mini-van to transport all of the "car" camping necessities and after the wife got in the car later today she had two ticks crawling on her.
Is there a safe and non-toxic way to try to get rid of this plague of ticks? I have an infant that is less than a month old and don't really want to have to "bug bomb" the car.
Any and all suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
