2. Ticks

 They live on the skin of animals

 They feed on blood

 They spread many diseases in domestic animals e.g. East

coast fever, red water, heart water, and typhus fever in hu-

mans.

Tick borne diseases can be controlled on the farm by:

1. Dipping and spraying the animals with respective pesti-

cides.

2. Grazing animals on new pasture.

3. By double fencing (best method).
