Fellow former Minnesotan here. Anecdotally, on average the tick situation is a little heavier in NH than in MN. The St Croix river valley probably has a similar tick load, which isn’t a helpful reference unless you spent time over there lol.

I treat my hiking/outdoors clothes with permethrin. Definitely made a difference when compared to my friend’s who hike with me and do not treat their clothes. Be careful with permethrin around your pets though because wet permethrin is bad for cats/dogs. I treat my clothes outside on the deck with good air flow and allow the clothes to dry before bringing them inside. Needs to be reapplied to clothing after a handful of washes.

Most effective will be a thorough scan for ticks when you get home. Come up with a system to make sure you don’t miss checking any spots.

Edit to add: Ticks like warm, protected areas on your body. Make sure to check behind your ears, along the hairline on the back of your head/neck, armpits, etc.

I work down there. There is a gun store right next door behind it. There is also a tattoo place where the gun shop is. The liquor store moved up the street to the Rockingham Plaza. All within a convenient 1/4 mile radius. The Let's go, Brandon shop two doors down just went out of business, so this is hope.

This is very subjective to a specific area, this statement may be 100% true in your area. But not all.

I wouldn't say luxury homes are more profitable, from what I saw working in real estate in Texas was that at 3% people that could afford a $400k+ home could not afford that same home above 4-5%.

What made homes more profitable in the Austin area was by building them very close in these tight knit neighborhoods that popped out of nowhere. Regardless if they were plain Jane or luxury type homes, they were built as cheaply as possible.

But most people are priced out by the now higher interest rates.
