This is the first time using it here at the house where we currently are as the ticks are so prevelant this year.

Darn soft winters.

i just put frontline plus on Callie after she came inside with a tick next to her nose the other day and its supposed to keep them off of her I would suggest that sense its the kinda weather they are going to be coming back out.

Thanks for the link......I am going to give it try, we live on 5 acres and have really had a time with ticks already this year and it has only just began. I haven't seen a lot of fleas. My Cavaliers have been getting ticks and I hate the gross things........

Oh yuck! I hate ticks and fleas! My husband uses something outside in the spring/summer which helps to keep lots of different bugs away, and it has worked great! I have never seen a flea or tick on my boys, and we have woods behind our house. I wish I could remember the name of it, but I can't and hubby is sleeping. If you go to your local garden center and ask about it, they will know what to recommend. The one we use is safe for pets.

I was told that not only does this product work for fleas but its main function was for warding off Heartworm??///....Now I am Confused ....

We are treating the yard with Perma-Guard Fossil Shell Flour/Diatomaceous Earth - (Feed Grade), tonight and I will dust the fur creatures once a week with it as well.

I am done with the chemicals that are doing nothing.

A friend of mine told me about this awhile back, but I couldn't find it locally...we normally keep stuff on the yard, but we are ALWAYS looking for all-natural and harmless alternatives.
