Thank you EVERYONE ..Wow I am still reading the replies. I went to a wedding tonight...yep on a Tueday...and am beat..I just got in not too long ago from the dinner. I want to thank all of you...I am mostly looking for natural ways to repell ticks..I WILL use Frontline Plus if need be....But my hope is I will not have to. I have had this dog for 4 years and he has never had fleas or ticks...Before this dog I have had dogs for wow...over 20 years so I am responsible it is just I hate to use the chemicals..Right now that flea and tick med Prometis (sp) is causing a lot of HUMAN and dog issues with breathing and some have died from it...One can google that. I have to keep his vaccinations down to just a few because he is allergic to eggs which is how most vaccines are made..with or in a egg..so he is at risk on any vaccine....But I know...that their are so many tick born illnesses ...and thanks but money is totally not an issue....is the health of my dog and the chemicals that are killing our pets and us....Its kind of a damned if you do damned if you don't kind of thing. Thus, my quest for a natural method if possible.

On bugs lol ugh..I do hate spiders, centipedes, wasps. bees and now...ticks...

Thank you all you're very thoughtful and my dog apprecaites you too
