we have successfully used a tea tree oil spray for years on all of our animals (horses and dogs) and have very rarely dealt with ANY ticks or fleas. We buy the tea tree oil from walmart (I think its about four dollars) and mix it one part tea tree oil to 10 parts water in a spray bottle. You can spray the animals, the carpet, the curtains, furniture whatever and the great thing is it is completely safe. You don't have to worry about it getting on your skin and being harmful or around kids either.
