naturebob Report post Posted June 27, 2016 I just got back from N. Dakota and brought my Weimeriner back with me and My buddys house where I been living all year all of a sudden has a boat load of ticks. His dog would get some but not like she does now. they are every where and he sprays her down with stuff that oviously isn't working. I never had a tick problem in Cave Creek before I went to work up in the oil patch. Does anyone have a good or great exterminator or whats my best thing to do. These 2 dogs have a doggy door so they go in and out . Do people still get dogs dipped and does that work . I want them critters gone Help please asap. Been back 2 hours from my 3440 mile round trip journey. No more N. Dakota ,thank God. Wifes vacationing with family and son in Ohio when she leaves next week, then back out here. Bring on the ideas and referrals guys ,Please...............BOB! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HNTNGUY Report post Posted June 27, 2016 Back when I ran dogs I would give them large amounts of Garlic tabs. Ticks hate the taste. Although it's not going to fix the problem if the house or yard is infested with them. Try and spray the dogs with Adams and bomb the house with foggers and spray the yard as best as possible.

bustedknuckleinc Report post Posted June 27, 2016 Look into NextGaurd. We had a problem like this with our dog and we gave him a bath with tick shampoo and picked as many as we could find with tweezers. We would find them around on the carpet as they came off as they were dying! Thankfully he is tick free and they never took hold around our place. The wife also spread Diatomaceous Earth everywhere in the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IA Born Report post Posted June 27, 2016 When we lived in Tucson, we had ticks out hiking and in our back yard, even when using Frontline Plus. I called the company and complained about what it advertised vs what happened and got the run around. Our vet back then suggested switching to K9 Advantix and it has worked great ever since. I also went and sprayed the crap out of the yard with a top quality bug killer (don't remember which one since it was about 12 years ago). That, along with K9 Advantix seemed to work great. Once a month application of the stuff. Its expensive, but it works great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
