What do you guys use for ticks? I heard that there is a pill that is safe and works good I just don't know the name of it.

Permithin, it's a spray.  You apply it to clothes, packs and boots only, not your skin.  Works pretty good.

Permithin, it's a spray. 

Flat out works. You can pick up a squirt bottle of Sawyer pre mix at any decent sporting goods store. I bought a bottle of concentrate from amazon and mix my own. Use an online mixing calculator to get the %'s correct if your not that up on your math skills.

I've always used Frontline that I pick up at Costco. I've never had a tick on my dog after using it.

I called my Vet about tick control, they have chewable tablets. One kind lasts a month the other lasts 3 months.

Let me know how those pills taste. I hate dowsing myself in the spray. :)

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

We've just started using Bravecto, which is probably the 90 day treatment you mentioned.  A little pricey but is it makes lefe easier for everybody involved then so be it.
