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
