WATCH: Wicked Funny Maine Music Video ‘Check Me For Ticks’

Well, the days are getting nicer and nicer finally. And as we spend more time in the great Maine outdoors, we really should gotta keep in mind that the ticks are back.

An unwanted hitchhiker may be right in your own backyard. So next time you come back inside, make sure you check yourself. And don't forget those nether regions too.

Now let's have some fun with a band from Lovell over in beautiful Oxford County. They call themselves Flooded Cellar.  When the warm weather finally arrives they enjoy fishing on Kezar Lake.

These boys also like to stroll through the tall grass in wide open spaces and hike the wooded trails.  Along with these nature loving excursions of course comes the threat of terrible tiny beasts...Friggin' Ticks!
