It's more that opossums groom themselves frequently, I have read they
kill an average of 75 ticks a day through grooming. I always have some
in my home yard, I throw out leftover food from meals and they come
scavenging.
Mowing is the best solution. My home yard is mowed all the time and I
have not had a tick problem. The other yards are on farms. I weed-wack
around the hives but can not do the whole area that I walk through.
