Abstract: The goal of the study is to 1) evaluate the effectiveness of specific tick control methods used on single versus multiple adjacent properties to suppress host-seeking ticks infected with Lyme disease spirochetes and to reduce human tick bites, and 2) to better understand human landscape use patterns and tick exposure locations. Resulting data will provide suggestions for improving tick/pathogen control methods used in the environment.
