in addition to my clothes... I treat the seat and insides of my car with Permethrin... just in case....
I hate ticks, personally.
My dog got lyme disease, presumably from a tick. He never showed a single symptom and beat it on his own, and now carries the antibodies. His vet was impressed, in the many years he has been a rural vet, he had never seen a dog beat lyme disease on it's own.
Battle: I use bug spray when we're in the woods. I use flea and tick spray on the dog regularly. The kids old enough now that they have to look for themselves...if I check their entire body, I'll be arrested.How do you battle ticks or prevent them?
a trick to getting them off is by taking a knife, and heating the tip, and touching the tick with it..
I can go with Frontline also, use it on mine monthly year round. I wonder what would happen if a human used it? Someone give it a try and let us know.I hate ticks, personally.
I treat my dog with frontline religiously, yet even though a tick will die if and when it bites, it can still pass on disease before it goes to the great beyond.
