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. :)

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.
