Warm weather means many of us will be spending a lot more time outdoors. Unfortunately it also means a higher risk encountering #ticks, which can carry #LymeDisease. #SFUBioSci researchers are exploring new solutions to repel these harmful critters. ow.ly/GBmM50ReCHe #SFUScience #pestcontrol #BritishColumbia #hiking
