Nick3439 83 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Spray the bedding they sleep in with the household tick ferret killer as well as all that, that way they don't stand a chance Quote Link to post

Malt 379 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Spray the bedding they sleep in with the household tick ferret killer as well as all that, that way they don't stand a chanceSod that, BURN any bedding and give the whole living area a good going over with some pesticide spray. Just make sure you get it into every join in any woodwork and leave the area free of ferrets for a few hours so the spray can evaporate. Rake done a cracking thread about ticks and their treatment, its pinned at the top of the section. Quote Link to post
