Careful with the garlic. It can cause anemia, asthmatic attacks and dermatitis... Natural isn't always good. |

Thanks! Hmmmm....Ticks Suck Blood, Vampires Suck Blood - so Garlic wards of Ticks AND Vampires? :) I think I'll hold off on the garlic since the sticky post said it's not good for them. |
I absolutely HATE ticks!!! We have them so bad around here and Frontline doesn't even phase these nasty little creatures. I've stopped using it and now I spray my babies with a natural spray that truly seems to be working. I was iffy about trying it but I haven't found any ticks recently. :thumbup: Also, let me add that my one baby girl Trixie tested postive for Lyme's Disease. Simply being bitten by a tick can produce a postive reading so further testing is required. After testing postive they did further testing on Trixie and it came up as a high positive. She had to be put on a certain type of medicine for a month and will be tested again in another 6 months. Tick bites should definately be taken seriously. Not all ticks carry diseases but it only takes one. :( |

What is the natural spray you've been using? And did Trixie get bitten by the tick while using Frontline or the natural spray? |

Hi, I've found ticks on Trixie several times. For the most part they were just on her and not attached yet. However, I found one that was attached for I'd say 1-2 days from the size of it. They are so hard to see and Trixie is black with a very thick coat. :( It's definately possible that she could have had others and I never saw them. Errrrrrrrr, just makes me so mad and upset that my baby has this now. I used to only give Frontline during what I thought was tick season (Spring to early Fall). I said this to my vet and she informed me that ticks are actually worse in fall and winter.:eek: I had no idea and stopped using Frontline during this time. Regardless, I've found ticks on my one baby a day after applying Frontline. It truly never seemed to work for my babies and my one also had seizures from it. I like the natural spray much better. :thumbup: Here is the link to the site for the repellent I use on them. Chinaroad Lowchens of Australia - Alternative Health (Natural Health) for Canines worldwide. |

Forgot...........but if you do make the repellent, make sure to use pure oil. I had to go to a hollistic store to buy it. It was hard for me to find. :cool: |

from tony in reading uk the twister works fine, hook it around the body, 2 to 3 turns with it----- and out you come, kind regards-------tony. |
Went to Petco last night...they were ALL out of the tick twister. They said they can't keep them on the shelves. I have to check back next week. |
You can buy it online for probably just a couple dollars more than what they sell it for at Petco. It's $3.95 plus $3.95 s/h for up to 6. I know that is what I'm going to do! Remove Ticks Easily with Tick Twister® Pro : Order Now - $3.95 |
Sweet - thanks. Beats wasting gas and driving there every couple of days. |
Gigi, I just saw that you are from Methuen! I grew up 45 min north of you! I miss New England so much... |
