bksheppard Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I need some advice on ways to get rid of all of the ticks covering my boys. I've tried 2 different types of drops, powder, spray, shampoo, conditioner, yard spray, yard powder, and yard granular. Everytime there just seems to be more and more ticks on them. I don't know what else to try. I am going to try a different drop ( k9 advantax) as soon as the month ends but for now i am stuck. I'm terrified they are going to get sick! Any advice?

Removed #5 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 We had a real rash of very small ticks when summer set in but I haven't seen any since then. When over in Houston I used Comport since the main problem there was fleas, since I've gotten over here I've been using FrontLine Plus and haven't seen any. It's easier to check the pups (since they have less hair) than Misty so I can't definitely say there aren't any, just that I haven't seen them. Personally I haven't found *anything* OTC that works well for either fleas or ticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bksheppard Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I finally got the ticks under control! I found a yard spray that works wonders (Sentry). I am going to try a few other drops to get rid of all of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutsibe Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I've found a few on my guys (and on myself! ), so was talking with my vet about it yesterday - she likes Advantix... (I'm probably not going to use it unless the problem gets worse, as the main one I've found ticks on is Shad, who's 14 and rather frail... Nice to know the options, though!)
