It seems every summer the ticks magically appear. The second the weather is somewhat warm, ticks pop up out of nowhere. Every summer, we spray the yard....once...twice...sometimes even three times. Deticking. Monthly drops. Dipping. Flea/tick baths. Flea/tick collars. A terrible chemical overload on everything, which I'm not fond of, but it's that or pick ticks constantly. It seems like we're doing everything we can, but sheesh it's expensive and we still have ticks. I realize we live in the country and that's just something that comes with the area, but geez.... Plus, it doesn't help that the neighbor's free-roaming untreated dogs drop ticks everywhere.
So...what else can I do???? Would simple repellants help keep the tick-farm(neighbor's dogs) away? If we did everything the same but also used DOG repellants of some kind to keep their dogs away, would it help? Are there any home remedies or repellants that would help? Natural solutions? Anything? I'm at my wit's end here. At this point I'm willing to stand on the roof and do a tick-be-gone dance in a hailstorm. It's driving us nuts. :dogwacko: :dogmad:
Surely ticks were made by Satan himself rather than God. :dogdry:
