| TICK infestation, HELP!!! We have been fightinng this tick problem for weeks now. I have had Lili dipped (last week) and the house sprayed for ticks and they are supposed to come back tomorrow too. A week ago when lili was cleaned and had NO ticks and the house was treated the same day. Now 7 days later I have picked several ticks off her live and dead. I put Lili on Frontline Plus 3 weeks ago and the ticks are still living on her. I don't know if I should have her held at the kinnell till we can kill all the ticks in the house, but if i did it would be costly and who knows how long it would take. I need some help. Please let me know what else I can do. Thanks |

| We keep that Ortho stuff (sorry I can't remember the name) sprinkled in the yard. It can be found at Walmart in lawn and garden in a bright orange/red bag. It kills fleas and ticks before they can get on your dawg or in your house. Good Luck, Teri

The Frontline should kill the tics as the get on her. You can probably treat her again in a week | |

| There is some Ortho spray for pets....that you actually spray on your pet...well, my vet told me w/ Mojo being small, to spray a rag with it and then rub it on his skin......it kills the ticks INSTANTLY! We have bought ours at the vet office, but I have seen it at a place called Halberts (in my area), they are a vet/fed store type place. Oh, the spray works for fleas too.

| Crush up the following herbs and place the mixture in a small muslin bag, then leave the bag near the pets bedding. Use about a 1/2 ounce of each. Makes a great repellant. Dried peppermint, eucalyptus,bay leaf, sage, rosemary,cloves,& marjoram. Also a method that will kill the tick. For yard, porch, where ever they might be hiding. Crush the entire basil plant & place the basil into 2 quarts of water. Allow it to remain for 2 hours before straining & using it in a sprayer. This method has been used for hundreds of years. |
