A pesticide designed to kill ticks is sometimes called an acaricide. Acaricides can be very effective in reducing tick populations. If properly timed, a single application at the end of May or beginning of June can reduce tick populations by 68-100%.
The final Hot Lunch Mix of the season with the Chosen Few DJs takes place October 7 under the Picasso in Daley Plaza from noon to 1pm. All summer long, The Chosen Few DJs have played lunchtime gigs outdoors at Daley Plaza on the first Wednesday of the month for something they call the Hot Lunch Mix. October 7 marks the final lunchtime jam of the season, so head down to Daley Plaza (50 W. Washington) in Downtown Chicago under the Picasso for the last blow out from noon to 1pm.
If you can't make it to Chicago for the 2017 Tree Lighting Ceremony at Daley Plaza or the Chicago Christmas Parade, you won't miss all the holiday season fun. The tree remains in its central Loop location throughout the month of December, and just steps away is a lovely Chicago Christmas Market that is open daily from November 24 to December 24. This market, which is akin to the Christmas market in downtown Denver, has a German theme and is set on Daley Plaza.
