I decided to go w/ Preventic after several recommendations and reveiws about the collar.

Check it out here: http://www.allivet.com/Preventic-Tic...gs-p/25166.htm

and: http://www.preventic.com/

What's nice about it is that the chemical isn't an insecticide. Rather, it is a neurotoxin to the tick.
The collar idea sounds a lot better. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
