Question
Grant, I’ve been putting out sulfur blocks the past several years and believe that it helps deer with ticks & NO SEE UMS.What,s your opinion ?

Mike,

There’s been rumors for decades about sulfur blocks helping reduce ticks on cattle and other critters.  I’ve tried them and never seen obvious results.  I’ve Googled the subject and haven’t found any research that supports the claims.  However, that doesn’t mean sulfur doesn’t help remove ticks.  However, if it does it’s not well documented.  

I look forward to hearing updates about your experiences!

Enjoy creation,
