Once a month tick and flea treatment for dogs

Agreed the fleas that you see are only 5% of your problem!!! The other 95% are still in the developing stages of eggs, pupa, and larva.

Yes there seems to be a re-insurgence of them Oct thru Dec around here. Someone suggested guinea hens but I have picky @55 neighbors, no guineas for me.

I think that the key may be to use a different product every 2-4 months depending on the time of year.

This time of year when I'm out doing anything in the garden or woods I wear lovely rubber boots from Wal-mart.. Keeps the little blood suckers off. The one day I didn't, I found a lyme tick on my leg a few hours later

Thank goodness fleas aren't an issue, (knock wood) now those things are

I dont think it ever gets rid of all of them. I still see them every now an then but my dogs are not scratching an they are not biting me.
