Happy Monday! Weather is getting nicer. But still lots of rain is coming. Ticks are out and cause a lot of problems. On today’s Handyman tips:

Simple tips to prevent tick bites.

1). Tuck pants into socks. It prevents ticks from crawling up your leg. You can also wear tick guards that cover the bottom of your legs.

2) Tuck your shirt into your pants and wear a belt.

3) long sleeves are a great way to help prevent ticks from getting on your body.

4) Bug repellent spray with deet. Also helps prevent bites from mosquitos and black flies.

If you do find a tick on your skin before it attaches grab it with toilet paper and toss into the toilet and flush. Once they attach squeeze it out with tweezers. Try not to pull it out or you may leave its head buried in your skin. Tape it to a postcard and mark it with the date. Watch the bite area and if it stays red for a day or two consult with your doctor about early lime disease checks. Having the tick with you might give extra information.

Stay safe and enjoy the outside
