I am soooo upset!

This is the THIRD time in two weeks that Mojo has gotten seed ticks (those itty bitty little ticks that look like specs of dirt). We have treated our yard several times and have treated our outside dogs.

Mojo is on K9 Advantix (switched from Frontline a few years back because Advantix works on misquitoes and Frontline doesn't).

Anyway, I need help!!!!

What can I do......it seems like neither Frontline nor Advantix keeps the ticks away or kills them. It seems like we need something else for our yard. AND what else can I use on our big dogs.....they too are on Advantix, they were a Preventive collar (from the vet) and we have "dipped" them recently too.

I heard ticks were bad this year, but we have just noticed them in the last two weeks...........YUCK!!!!

Any thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I am just frustrated because it seems like nothing is working......and we pay a lot of all this stuff too!!!!
