We've had gazillions of ticks this year. We bought guineas about a month ago and they help some, no doubt about it. We also use Frontline Plus on our bigger dogs who have the run of the 56 acres. When they come inside, first thing I do is a tick check. I still miss a few but get most of them. I have found a few dead ones on the dogs and I assume Frontline got them. It takes 24 to 48 hours to work. I wish there was something that would work in 1 second.!! I've had them on my head (attached) this year. My husband has had 3 of them sucking his blood! Supposedly they have to be on for 2 or 3 days before they can transfer their bacteria or whatever. I hate them! |
