Here's a good site for tick identification: http://www.oes.org/html/how_2_identi...ent_ticks.html
It also has maps with reported cases of lyme disease showing high risk areas.

Re: Deer Ticks!!!!!
Thanks for all the posts guys, had another 2 yesterday, one deer and one dog, so we obviously have a lot in our yard, Frontline was on my list for the shops this morning so we'll see how we go with that

Re: Deer Ticks!!!!!
Just starting tick season here again. 2 years ago had one in the belly button. 
The disgust was actually worse than anything else until it was removed....they go in head first, so seeing the legs flapping around in the navel was quite sickening. Fortunately it wasn't a deer tick but they are rampant around here and the dogs pick em up like crazy.
