Flea Remedies

What works best for yard fleas and ticks?

I have a 2 yr. old bichon and I’m having a problem with fleas and ticks. I currently use Frontline Plus on him but I’m planning to switch to Advantix very soon. I have a him a tick collar that lasts for 3 months and I still can’t keep the ticks off. I just found out from my neighbor that we have a tick problem in our yards. My vet told us a few things to use but I was wondering what people on here would use as well.
I don’t really have to switch from Frontline Plus. I doing it because ,from what I understand, Frontline doesn’t cover deer ticks and we have a problem with those.
No, there isn’t any construction going on anywhere close to my house.

Flea Bomb the Yard? That is so silly, I can’t even begin to explain why…..

OK, the RIGHT way to treat your yard is this:

1. Trim up any bushes, trees, or shrubs ATLEAST 6 inches off the ground. (The sun needs to get to the base of the plant.)

2. Clean up any and all yard debries from your yard. (Ticks like dark, damp areas, like under leaves and branches)

3. Get a product called Demon WP. You can find it in most do-it-yourself pest control companies, or on e-Bay. FOLLOW the intructions CAREFULLY! This is a professional strength product. More is not better! Following all the instructions WILL take care of your problem!
