Oh yes, a life long MA/NH resident here and ticks are horrid this year, my poor Dex has already had 2, and he's on frontline. Fletch for some reason never gets any. They sooooo gross me out. Dex got his first one in March so ticks are already out in full swing. I live across the street from a holistic dog store and they told me a 1/8 of a teaspoon of garlic, mixed with a tad of olive oil sprinkled over their food should help with the ticks and is more natural for them. I only tried it for one day though so I have no idea if it works or not for sure.
