Tick control

[PA BEN]

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.

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.

Nexgard has worked very well.

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

This stuff works great for hunting clothes but do not use it on your dog!!!

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

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.

yes it is 60 bucks a dose for the 12 week dose. After I picked it up at the Vet I found it on line for 45 dollars.

Permethrin has been used in animal flea/tick/fly/mosquito sprays forever.  If you use the concentrate be very careful it can cause illness in humans in high doses.  It it derived originally from plants and has a pretty long history so it's side effects are well known.

That said I usually use Frontline or advantage just during the tick season.  I spray my clothes with cutter/off or a similar because I work in the brush and may or may not have a long term tick caused problem. 

I have tried the fabric sheet for skeeter repellent it works ok.

The ticks are out early this year, so treat your animals soon and watch yourself.  We had one of our dogs put down yesterday because of what we believe to be a tick-related illness

Also a fan of Bravecto. Pricey whatever, it's simple and effective, and beats having a sick dog...

I use Capstar topical treatment. Put it on his neck above the shoulders

I use Frontline, got the Frontline Gold this time. Seems to work good. Spendy tho, $75 for 3 doses.
