* I thought that Frontline was a tick repellent. Repellent is supposed to repel. Well, it didn't do its job.

* Or, am I wrong? Is it not a repellent? Does it just kill ticks after they bite and they fall off dead? Or do they just fall off alive?

If this is the case, am I gonna have ticks all over my house? This really concerns me because if that's how it works that grosses me out! I want a repellent!

Help me, I'm going nuck'n futs!
Frontline Plus does not repel ticks, it only kills them when they are on the dog. The only flea and tick medicine that I know of that kills fleas, tick, and repels mosquitos, fleas, and ticks is K9 Advantix, I heard great things from it and my vets recommend it.
