Sterile grass carp are sometimes used by pond owners to control vegetation. You must first obtain a permit from the DEC. The permit is for a specific number of grass carp and the permit must be shown to the provider(certified seller). I believe these carp are called "triploid", having an extra set of chromosomes which causes sterility. I was told they are produced by "shocking" the eggs shortly after they are fertilized. They worked great in my pond.

In Oswego County they seem much worse on the Eastern side of the Oswego river. I believe there are 3 stages (so 3 sizes) of the deer tick. They all can carry Lyme disease, and other nasty infections. As has been mentioned, treating clothing with Permethrin is extremely effective. Buy it online or the tractor stores. Clothes only, not to be applied directly to skin. It is said to be highly toxic to cats, I guess you can't leave treated clothes around your felines. jperch -
I have had very good luck with Whitetail Institute products. The cost of the seed is small in comparison to the other costs for lime, fertilizer, fuel for tractor, etc. There is also a serious investment in time and work. With all that I am happy to pay for the seed. jperch -
I use Doug's Deer Processing on County Route 85, near the intersection with Ridge Road. It's maybe 10 minutes from Fair Haven, about the same from Oswego. He does a good job, everything is boneless and vacuum sealed. He will cut it the way you want it, I think I paid 70 or 75 this year. perch
