Scouts rallied to help Matt prep a hundred death-to-tick tubes this Saturday by soaking cotton-balls in a solution of the insecticide Pyrethrin, then stuffing them into donated toilet-paper tubes. When these scouts distribute the tubes in the woods and fields, tick-laden mice will gather the cotton-balls as a nesting material, and the Pyrethrin will kill the ticks. All safety requirements were met during this process, which Matt has been studying for more than a month. Photos at
