My dogs are infested with ticks. The rainy season has begun and there
are uncontrollable number of ticks on them. I havetried many products
on them. I am looking for a natural way to control the ticks on them.

Ticks are "natural."

You might consider it unnatural to put amitraz collars on them,
but these collars are highly effective on most dogs.

Keeping all of the cover mowed short, burning off or mulching
dead leaves, and doing your best to eliminate tick habitat could
help (then keep the dogs in the maintained area).

Guinea fowl are said to eat lots of ticks.

These solutions are not "natural," but they don't require chemicals.

You can also go over your dogs carefully every day, pick the ticks off,
and drop them in a jar of rubbing alcohol.

There is nothing natural that really repels ticks. Spend the money and buy
either frontline plus and treat the dog monthly. Not treating them can kill
the dog.
