A science teacher at Union Springs near Auburn, NY might have figured out a way to rigorously reduce the tick problem in Upstate New York and it might turn out to be a money maker. Jason Dean, originally of Canastota, has created a prototype 'tick Sweeping' machine that al out completely eliminates the tick problem in the average back yard.
One of the biggest worries for parents and property owners everywhere seems to be ticks. One Upstate New York teacher has a solution that a college study shows will be a must have device within 5 years time.
