| The ticks can still bite and stay attached but the frontline kills them. I took Squeaky to the Vet for allergies and while waiting, I found a seed tick. The Vet removed it and it was dead. She said that the frontline was working - it killed the tick but you still have to check the babies to remove any dead ones. |

| WOW! I never heard/seen those either! Thanks for posting, so now if I ever DO see them on Rocky or Bella, I'll know what it is..I'll still freak out, but at least I'll know about it I'm glad you caught them on her quick enough. Is she doing O.K? |

| seed ticks I had a GIANT problem with ticks a few years ago. I live in Arizona, and have never seen anything like it. I have lived in this house for 10 years. The first 5 years, I didnt see a flea, tick or anything else. Then, in a mater of a week, my dogs were covered head to toe with seed ticks. I have no idea where they came from. I picked, sprayed, bathed, bombed, cleaned over and over and over again. They got in the house too. It was a nightmare!!!!! I would have to check my cloths before I went out of the house or to work. They were all over the yard. I could see them running up the garden hose and onto the porch. I would pick them off each dog, then the next day, they would be covered again. I used Zodiac flea and tick shampoo for puppies and kittens and Zodiac house bombs as well as apholstery spray. It took a good year of picking, spraying, bathing, cleaning, and bombing to finally get rid of them. I havent seen a tick now in 3 years. I have never seen anything like it. It was the most nasty, horrible thing I have had to deal with in my life. So get on it. Dont let them multiply!!! Good luck, Lynn |

| WOW! After I saw this post, I checked Lexi completely. She doesn't have them. I have not put any flea & tick meds on her since Aug 06'. I hate the smell & it is all oily. I was using K9 Advantix. Then, I read that it has these strong toxins in it & I was like...... NOOOOOOO. I am not putting them on her. I am concerned now though. I was at the hardware store today & I overheard this guy say his vet found a bunch of ticks on his dog this afternoon. He lives in my neighborhood. Now, I don't know what to do... Can anyone recommend any natural products for me to use on Lexi's hair as a preventative? This makes me itchy !! |

| Alot of people here use the all natural preventatives. I can't remember which ones they are. I think that some people use garlic for fleas. Not sure if there is something for ticks though. Good luck. Quote:
