Donating YT Addict | We are having a VERY bad tick season here in the Northeast. I use 1/2 tube of the Advantix on Ozzy and he has done fine. I haven't found any ticks on him but I did find one on me Blehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! My friend has her yard sprayed with an organic pet safe mixture by a pest control company. I don't know what it is called but maybe call around and Google some pet friendly lawn tick treatments. It's just aweful that you can't go out an enjoy yourself without feeling all itchy,creepy and paranoid after

| do all of you who are having tick problems live in rural or urban areas?? I live in the city and have taken my pup to the park through the grass a couple of times this year and haven't had any problems (yet). |

| I haven't found any on the girls yet, but I found one on my stomach last night Ewwww, I felt like I had bugs crawling all over me after I found that tick! It was deeply imbedded too. Now hubby tells me to watch for a bulls eye type ring on the spot where the tick was...just great! Somebody posted this link the other day. It's for natural flea and tick remedies. I hope this helps. Chinaroad Lowchens of Australia - Ticks, fleas, bees, flies, snakes and other gremlins! And how to deal with them!

Mom to Marty & Maddie Donating Member | Marty had two on him after the park about a week ago, so we got frontline, but yesterday I found one on ME! (It was only crawling on me and not embedded, but still scary!) |
