Now they are on our porch even though I' ve been spraying. We are thinking of fumigating the house with a service that say they will spray all the baseboards & places where they hide. has anyone used a service company to rid house of ticks? Which one? did it work? This experience is so maddening. Just moved here a couple months ago from California where we never had probs with ticks!!!! ugg!!! we just moved to Isla Verde and adopted a street dog who had tons of ticks. we took him to a groomer who dipped him and picked off most of the adult ticks. now our other dog has ticks and even though they both have Frontline Plus on them, they still have new ticks everyday.

I am going out of my mind picking the ticks off my 2 pekes. It is worse than ever this year. I am using Frontline and spraying like crazy. I'm going to petco to see if they have anything else.

I am so sick of them and my mom collection of animals. Along with the increase amount of stray dogs here in Salinas. Disgusting. I don't really know how long I will last here in PR. Along with the nasty flying roaches. Oh man did I find one on my bed. I am so sick of them and my mom collection of animals. Along with the increase amount of stray dogs here in Salinas. Disgusting.

The doctor gave us Frontline and we picked ticks and bathed both yesterday. The doctor said to wait 5 days before spraying. I am not going to let either dog in the yard/grass. I am keeping them on the patio. That may help. They go in the pool daily but that does not help. I do not let the dogs be together. The rottweiler is sectioned off on the back porch and the shih tzu is in the house. She is not allowed in our bed. Hope the spray works. Our Rottweiler and ShihTzu are infested.

I don't know how they would be getting into your house otherwise. It took many many bombings and vacuuming up the tick eggs for many weeks (months?) to finally rid them from our house. Look at your baseboards and slightly up your walls...The tick eggs look like spots of dirt, but take a closer look and they are tiny specks clustered together. I would find several little nests every morning and vacuum them all up. So gross! If you have carpeting in your house it's going to be even harder to get rid of them. Shavonne – Do you have any pets?

El mejor producto que puedes usar es Frontline Plus (fipronil). Es indicado para uso mensual pero lo puedes usar hasta cada tres semanas si el problema es sufucientement serio. Revolution no es tan efectivo para las garrapatas pero si puede trabaja es algunos casos. Me imagino que le das medicina peventive de gusanos del corazon a tus perros, tal vez Heartguard, Sentinel o Ivomec? Si no usas nada para prevenir gusanos del corazon entonces puedes usar Revolution. En ese caso, un collar Preventic tambien es recomendado. Lo otro que tienes que hacer es fumigar las cercanias de tu casa en donde los perros pasan algun tiempo. Frontline Spray es una alternativa. Lo puedes conseguir en 1-800-petmeds sin receta. Pero si vas a una casa agricola te pueden recomendar otros productos similares y mas economicos. Best.
