Like, literally, the last 3 times that i applied it, within a day or two, i'd find a tick or two on him. But yet he hasn't had any flea/tick medicine on him in probably close to 2 months and haven't found one. I swear they are attracted to it. It's like with me... I never get bit by mosquitoes until i apply bug spray. I swear there's something wrong with me, lol
so really, i find it pointless to use the stuff, unless the ticks were getting really bad. So i'd be interested in putting some natural stuff on him just when i know we're going to be walking through long grass or the woods, etc. |
i really want to get away from the toxic chemical if i can.
Like you the heartworm preventative is must.
We have tons of mosquitos here , i would dare have them go without it.
