Yeah we just need to proliferate wild guinea hens and other tick predators to knock their populations down. I'd rather the entire eastern US look like Kauai (random feral poultry) than have ticks take over.
Opossum are native, eat ticks and do not carry rabies. They are heros!
Maybe.. but there were so many examples of disastrous consequences for introducing a non native species to control a pest (biological pest control), like thr cane toad in Australia, or ferrets in New Zealand, etc...
