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.

Ah, Merit Golds, contributed to my chronic breathing problems of today. I'm 57 quit 9 years ago, but the problems from smoking will last a lifetime and are just getting worse.

Can't feel sorry for him, though. He used to be Cardinal Camera and threw it all away for the Mango Mussolini, so zero fucks given here. He also has some type of military tow behind trailer out front, too, so you know what vibes that gives off.

To be fair, there is Budget Gas right in front of that, so lots of people, including me, get gas there because they are the cheapest in town (to my knowledge).

It went out of business at the beginning of February, so at least Salem got something right, lol.

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.

Gotta know when to hold ‘em, it’s a gamble. I don’t feel bad most of the builders I’ve seen are from out of state.

Good luck on the move! Yes, stay out of tall brush and dead leaves, you should be fine. I certainly keep eyes out for ticks after a day in the woods, but rarely find them as I mentioned.

Everyone mistakenly thinks all ticks are deer ticks that carry Lyme disease. When in actuality, most ticks you find are wood ticks.
I work in the woods and the best thing you can do is a “tick check” after you get home.
As for ridding your yard of ticks, get some chickens.

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.
