If you live on a farm or have land in the country,
the best solution we have found is Guinea Fowl.
They are great and their primary diet is fleas and
ticks.  We have several of them and never have
any flea or tick problems.  We generally keep about 
6-8 birds per acre.  We don't have to feed them
and they take care of themselves.
