I've considered it, but always stopped short of doing it. Can't imagine that a pile of corn wouldn't get them to brush up under a rub or a curtain.

I see the same on our place. Sometimes I see deer eating ticks off each other.

Burning your property will seriously decrease the number of ticks. Tick numbers in high enough levels will blind and even kill fawns outright from what I have read.
Another side effect of Eastern Red Cedar over taking the landscape is that they have actually documented increased numbers of ticks in areas with cedars as the cedars provide a microclimate more favorable to tick survival.

We got some good burns last yr. Afraid to burn now because we have a lot of grass. A whole lot of grass!
I've read the same about ticks and cedars. Unfortunately with more and more ground being switched from cattle pasture to hunting pasture cedars are becoming more and more prevalent.

My ground has more ticks than anywhere I have ever seen.I can't burn alot of it but by the time the grass turns green I bet theres ticks there.I did buy some guineas but the guy that was going to raise them from chicks wouldn't give them to me when he found out I was letting them run wild.
They say turkeys eat more ticks than possums so thats why you should kill possums.My buddys kid me that I'm some kind of tick whisperer.Heck I got a tick in the cemetery by where the world trade center stood in NYC when we did a tour.
