I use frontline plus and it does ticks too.

The 'plus' part of Frontline is for fleas, not ticks. Frontline Plus is
about as effective against ticks as Frontline is, and both my dogs have
come up Lyme positive while on it.

On the farm ticks are a major.

I am in NZ.
Dogs can get lyme from one bite from a tick it takes frontline plus a few
bites to not like the taste and let go.
Frontline (not plus) was up untill 2 years ago was for the control of fleas.
Then frontline plus came on the market which inclueded tick control and cost
20% more frontline non plus was fased out.
Thins may be different in the US but the world doesn't stop at the US
border's

No, the world neither starts nor stops at the US borders, but you are,
as usual, quite uninformed. Do you really think the company makes
completely different products for different countries and markets them
under the same name?

Frontline killed fleas and ticks. Frontline Plus includes an insect
growth regulator for flea eggs and larvae.

Where do you come up with this stuff? Ticks don't leave the dog because
they don't like the taste. Frontline (and Frontline Plus) has a neurotoxin
that is absorbed through the flea/tick's surface, and causes paralysis and
death.

Frontline and Frontline Plus contain fipronil, which is a neurotoxin for
invertebrates, and causes both ticks and fleas to die. Frontline Plus has
an added ingredient Methoprene (similar to juvenile hormone of fleas), which
kills flea eggs and larvae. It has NO effect on ticks. Maybe regular
Frontline was phased out in NZ, but it is still available in other parts of
the world.

Things may not be as different in different countries as you might believe.

Not what it says on pack or google!
