They are all on K9 Advantix but still get ticks (found 4 in the past few weeks) and it's just going to be worse this summer. The Advantix is expensive and really doesn't seem to work at all so I was thinking of trying the garlic powder. I would love to know if it's worked for anyone...thanks! |
hi, i dont know anything about garlic powder preventing ticks but wanted to say welcome to YT. i am surprised you are finding ticks already. i'm in Worcester and most of the nights are still way below freezing here. my girls have never had a tick on them and they are all 3 years old. i guess it just depends on where they are walking. mine mostly stay in my own yard. i dont have them on any flea and tick preventative yet. i was thinking for this year i would start them sometime in may. i have some frontline to use up for the fist month and then i was going to buy some advantage, a good freind of mine had told me advantage, not advantix worked the best for her so was planning on going with that.
good luck, i hope you find something that works for you on your 3 little boys
