ferreterni 29 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 does anyone have any trouble with ticks on their land? I cant see mto go out in summer with out the dogs coming home with at least one. Even had to pull one of my own leg, and i wear wellies and jeans to avoid em. They a big problem to me as i have a nipper starting to crawl and dont want to take any chances, have a house cat to so have to be careful what treatments to use. Anyone have any thoughts on the subject? Quote Link to post
