Ticks Are Crawling All Over Nashville This Year. Here’s How To Protect Yourself
The ticks are out with a vengeance this year, and the mosquitoes are loving all our recent rain. How can we avoid those jerks while keeping habitats safe for our bee, bird, and butterfly friends? We’re revisiting our conversation with local naturalist and author Jo Brichetto, who popularized the “Mosquito Bucket of Doom.” She joins Marie Cecile Anderson to share her tips for warding off the bitey guys while enjoying and protecting the other amazing bugs of summer.
