Details or Sample:
Is your yard infested with ticks? The tick drag and the tick flag are just the tools you need to answer that question. With a few inexpensive items you can make your own tick drag and tick flag in a snap. Using them is as easy as walking through your yard. When you´ve finished, not only will you know how great or small a tick
problem exists in your yard, but you will have also reduced the tick population in the process.

Check lawns and other flat areas with a tick drag. Check bushes and shrubs with a tick flag. You will need the same materials to construct each of these, except as noted.

Materials
1. A wooden stick, dowel or pole - approximately three feet in length for the drag and longer for the flag.
2. A piece of heavy white flannel cloth measuring approximately three feet by at least three feet. You can go longer on one dimension if you wish.
3. A length of rope long enough to tie each end to the stick. The rope will serve as the handle to drag the cloth. Use a length that makes dragging comfortable for you. No rope is needed for the flag.
4. Curtain weights or some other method to keep the dragged edge on the ground. This is helpful, but not necessary. Do not use on the flag.

Tick Drag Directions
Attach the cloth to the stick. Tie an end of the rope to each end of the stick
