He noticed a huge difference this year. Still had a few but it was because he thinks he did not put enough tubes out. 2 acre perimeter is a lot to cover.

I have looked into them, from what I have read they seem to be really effective but have a lag time and probably wouldn't notice a huge difference for almost a year. We have cedar oil sprayed every 6-8 weeks and has been quite effective. I actually think the spike in ticks was from all of the leaves being blown into our yard from the woods. With all of the rain, the ticks were probably using the leaves as flotation devices and rescue rafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanks45 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The sky actually has "that" look to it. 34.8 atm, with a low of 29.8. I finally broke down and bought the Davis replacement sensor suite, so I am confident that the temperature is pretty accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis was going to charge me $170 to refurbish my 12 year old unit and ship it back, plus the cost to ship it to CA. I picked up the brand new ISS for only $100 more, so figured it was a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I failed to order the wireless transmitter for my anemometer, so for now it is located roughly 20 ft off the gound. I like that my temperature and dewpoint can be close to each other now, before making the adjustments frequently would only get them to be within a few degrees of eachother no matter how soupy it was outside.

Multiple kids help with the increased tp usage, lucky or unlucky enough to be on the town's sewer line so that is one thing I don't have to worry about.
