Ticks Be Gone!
We all know how annoying little biting criters can be. While I have lucked out and have never had ticks, I know others that got them on walks. Well, the future may hold the answer to this blight . . . The Tick-Bot!
This little bot (an experiment at the Virginia Military Institute) follows a wire attached to a tube that releases carbon dioxide to attract the ticks. The Bot tows a collection cloth which is soaked in an insecticide. In tests the little wonder managed to pull in 87% - 96% of the ticks placed in the testing field.
With a little work this guy could be a boon to walking trails everywhere.
