I just came on here to search for threads about ticks. I just moved to a lake community near Fredericksburg,VA. And I have been picking off ticks quite a bit. I have Deuce on Revolution for heart worm, fleas and ticks since when he was little we had some digestive problems with other medications. The tick I got off him today looks like a dog tick - according to the chart online. I've been getting 2 or 3 ticks a week and he only goes in our yard!!!! I'm wondering what other folks do to prevent ticks on their dogs and in their yards. I understand that yard maintenance is a must but does anyone on here use outside pest control or a pest control company. How successful has that been? I'll leave this post on this thread for a while but if there aren't any responses I'll try it under General discussion.
