Last year our area was hit hard with ticks. I guess because it was so dry. I have indoor outdoor cats and we live in a wooded area. The cats were coming in with ticks on them so I bought Frontline for ticks as it is the only brand that says it kills ticks for cats. Well, the cats continued to come in with fully engorged ticks. The Frontline did nothing. I had to stand at the door with a flea comb and a tick puller every time I would let one in.
We don't have a fenced yard so my dog is always on a leash and I don't walk her near where the ticks hang out. Though I always check her after every walk. The ticks like the tall grass and sit on tall grass and weeds waiting for a warm body to jump on.
I can tell you Frontline is useless for ticks even though it advertizes that it kills them.
We have had a lot of rain this year and the cats have had very few ticks. I pray it stays that way.
I wouldn't put a flea and tick remedy on my animal before the time stated on the label. |
