Garden Club to hold Tick Talk

Apr 2, 2010

The Wareham Garden Club will present "Tick Talk" on April 15 at the Wareham Free Library at 6:30 p.m. Dave Simser of the Cape Cod Extension Service will speak about the prevention of tick-borne illnesses and what people can do about ticks and their control. All questions will be answered.

Dave Simser is a board-certified entomologist who has been researching deer ticks on the Cape and Islands since 1998. He is currently conducting a field experiment using novel devices known as "4-posters" to remove ticks from white-tailed deer.

The event is a community service provided by the Wareham Garden Club and is free and open to the public. The Wareham Garden Club is a member of The Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts and the National Garden Clubs, Inc.
