That's fascinating! no, it's vomitrocious! Interesting about the amitraz collar and spot treatment together. i've used them together, with my vet's permission, with good success. i'd already treated with Frontline, which wasn't working, so she told me to use an amitraz collar as well. think of the dogs in your area who aren't so aggressively monitored for tics. Yikes. believe me, i *see* them. i ran into the world's cutest little Red Nose Pit Bull. he was covered with ticks. they were stacked up like cord wood along his spine, across the top of his head, and on the inside and outside of his ears: *hundreds* of them. it was horrifying. (the owner, who weren't about to pick them off or take the dog to the vet, got a lecture TBDs and the insane cheapness of tick collars.) -- shelly (perfectly foul wench) and elliott and harriet http://home.bluemarble.net/~scouvrette |

One last suggestion - there may be some out in the ground - they can fed and
then drop off and go sort of dormant til next spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So as soon as the warm weather hits next year .... they latch on again, bigger and meaner and far more dangerous. So make a note to use tick protection on all the animals at the first hint of warm weather next year. Judy "shelly" wrote in message arble.net...

Ding dong, the ticks are dead. yay! just keep an eye out for future hatchlings, as Gwen has pointed out. that's an experience you don't want to repeat, i'm sure! I must say that having hundreds of ticks in my house is not exactly what I expected from city living. no kidding! that sort of plague should only happen in the deep bush. -- shelly (perfectly foul wench) and elliott and harriet http://home.bluemarble.net/~scouvrette |

I understand and am watching for the dormat thing in my house, but the house is a rowhouse (connected on both sides) and is surrounded by nothing but concrete and asphalt. Aha! The one advantage of having no grass? Cate |
