Ticks

boric acid powder and DE works to kill them i put boric acid in my yard and my dogs do not have any ticks I stopped using advantage as they didnt seem to need it.
Ticks are starting to drive me crazy I have tried loads of different sprays, essential oils etc and nothing seems to work. I want to try out the boric acid powder, which I'm doing a little research on now but what is the "DE" ??

I have been using something called "Alprocide" https://www.facebook.com/pg/Martinispethub/photos/?tab=album&album_id=684957088270826 this seemed to work better than front-line etc.
 
DE is diatomaceous earth. I don't really think it works very much at all but people seem to like it and it can't really hurt anything. I recommend using food grade if animals will be around it. Basically the idea is that it works by boring little holes into the exoskeleton of creepy crawlies.
