birdman6 10 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 the will be coming from the vegetation in your garden and surrounding area. april and may you will get a lot of young ticks looking for there first host. BEWARE of limes disease make sure you remove them properly. you could spray dogs with frontline and you could use a strong insect repelent on yourself eg. DEET100 i hope this helps it's a bad time of year for them. birdman6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patchworkcrew 0 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 They must be coming from an animal so it might be worth speaking to the cat owner. With 9 cats they might not have noticed? If the cats are tick free - what other animals might be in the garden? Bob G Quote Link to post Share on other sites
