So anyways his dad started taking Sebi for walks and having him go potty outside..which is fine BUT it just so happens that their yard is infested with ticks! I didn't find a tick on him till a few days after we'd been back home and I freaked so we starting searching his whole little body...Which was extremely furry at the time so that made it difficult but, we pulled off at least 20 ticks! I started reading online about them and how they can carry lyme disease so I took him to the vet asap..the vet gave me some frontline and said he should be fine and the ticks here in Florida don't usually carry the lyme. We sprayed our entire house down..washed blankets..everything. I thought they were all gone but, these past few days I've been finding them. PLEASE tell me how I can get rid of these disgusting things!!! I can't even sleep good at night because I'm so paranoid ones gonna get in my ear or something! I've found them crawling up my walls, on my bathroom rug, and on Sebi! I will just lose it if I find one on my daughter! |
oh you poor thing.. those nasty things make my skin crawl.

well the first thing you should probably do is have your whole house fumigated as soon as possible. i think that should take care of the ticks in your house...
also i find that k9 advantix II works better for ticks.. although if you recently used the frontline on your dog i would wait at least 3 weeks before applying anything else....
