Kill Deer Ticks Take Back The Outdoors! www.ticktubes.com Don’t let ticks and Lyme disease hold you hostage inside... With Damminix® Tick Tubes you can Take Back The Outdoors! What Makes Damminix® Tick Tubes Work... This remarkable solution consists of biodegradable cardboard tubes filled with permethrin treated cotton. Tubes are placed in areas of mouse habitat - ground cover, rock walls, and wood piles. Mice collect the cotton from the tubes for bedding. Through natural nesting instincts, permethrin from the cotton is released onto the animal’s fur. Deer ticks that feed on mice in the Spring and late Summer are exposed to the permethrin and killed before they can spread Lyme disease to you, your family and your pets. All the while, the mice, other mammals and your lands are unharmed and undisturbed. It is well known that deer spread ticks infected with Lyme disease. Little known however is that Deer ticks actually contract Lyme disease from mice, not deer. The key to protecting against Lyme is controlling your exposure to these ticks. Damminix® Tick Tubes rely on the natural nesting instincts of mice to take the battle against Lyme disease to the source and deliver a tick controlling insecticide directly to this host animal and the ticks it infects. Did You Know that Damminix® Tick Tubes... • Provide an environmentally friendly, easy to use, targeted solution to kill Deer ticks. • Have proven results showing a 90% reduction of exposure to a tick that could give you Lyme disease. • Are Made in the USA. How Many Damminix® Tick Tubes Do You Need... When determining quantity and placement, remember you need to treat mouse habitat, areas where mice feel safe gathering the cotton. 6 tubes protect an 1/8 acre, 24 tubes protect 1/2 acre, and 96 tubes protect 2 acres of mouse habitat! www.ticktubes.com Damminix® Tick Tubes
