hey people
ive got a problem my dog has got ticks and we use anti-tick shampoo on him and nw he's better d but the problem is all of a sudden there's ticks crawling all over my house!!! i sweep them i then i surf the internet when i look up i c them again!! HELP!!! :
someone can recommend something?

kill them,dont just sweep them away.
tear them in half if you have to(that's what i do)
they can linger around for a long time..

and spray frontline on your dog-some anti tick shampoo does not work

Same problem as me..

My doggie is much better now after using some "medicine" on it. The kind that u "pour" (not exactly pour on him, just a few drop) on him every month.

And during the first few month... those annoying thing is around my house, room .... bed, chair, table, keyboard.....

Now they seems to have disappear by themself

hehe.... me also got this problem now. I use "Front Line" to drop on prince body (so the tick will bit prince and died). Then I brought something from vet/petshop to spray on house. I everyday also monitor prince body see got tick or not

However it still got but very very less compare last time

sounds serious

well you can go to the vet and ask for "tactic" solution.tactic is very very effective. well follow the instruction careful when u apply the medication.to clean the area with tick , u have to take it dilute it 1 portion to 10 portion of water. Use those spray bottle n spray it all over the house, garden & those place which is with those stupid tick and flea. Avoid letting your dog walk near to the place u have been sprayed okay.because tactic is very strong medication. u can see those tick and flea will drop on the floor after apply this medication too. make sure clear them away,flush away !!! or u can burn it if u wanted to . anyway since u saying the anti tick/flea shampoo is effective so i think u no need apply the tactic '' on ur furkid body ..but beware if u use tactic on ur furkid body ya...because is very dangerous
if ur furkid smell or even accidentally lick it...BTW how old is ur furkid ? because furkid which is below a certain age like 3-4 month is not suitable to apply strong medication . anyway hope this help buddy . Hope u clear those stupid small vampire away ASAP . Good Luck

Omg... ur dog shampoo is repelling the ticks away so they are crawling away from ur dog and into ur house! when there's a tick problem..u have to totally kill all those ticks on ur dog's body..dont even leave a single tick alive, esp in the ears & in between the paws..sometimes the butt

i've been having this infestation for 3 weeks already. sigh.

a trend? why suddenly all people kena tick 1? hahaha

hmm the tactic thing tat u mention isit available over-the-counter? my puppy is almost 5 mths d so can use?

frontlne for dog, bayticol for house btw, i had an infestation of ticks too last month, sent furkids for basic grooming to the petstore, came back with ticks.

yes... me too using frontline for dog and bayticol for house

tictac is not over the counter. it's industrail-strength tick repellant. even my 1 year old pitt bull being sprayed with diluted tictac went googoogaga for few days....

m2k2,
kinda. first it's the small ones with big bodies. after that it's those we usually find. everyday also catch, even my bed has few of them..

ur dog so small wor... and also fur not so tick right? my GR siao... so tick fur and big size... really need use tools

same thing la... the only diff is tat you have more area to scan...
dunno what todo liao

Better not to use tactic on the dog itself..

There was a thread in the Malaysian Vet forum on the adverse reaction after using tactic, the condition was quite serious:
--->Vet forum



Saw somewhere before that there are alternative natural tick repellants such as eucalyptus oil and lemon.

yea agree ,if wan to use anti flea/tick spray i feel Frontline is the best
because tactic is a strong medication and can cause dog in danger .

but if to clear away those small vampire which is climb the wall , and garden etc.....I think tactic or bayticol is recommended .
but of cuz after apply the tactic or any medication which can kill those tick/flea , better avoid furkid go to the place which is spray with tactic or bayticol ...because the smell of the medication can make people faint also

Although there are many famous brands that has been around for long, but personally i dont like to apply too strong ticks solutions on dogs, even frontline is actually pesticide. Just imagine a product that you as a human need to wear glove & avoid contact with BUT yet we apply it on our dogs.

I use Zero Flea Spot On which is safe even on human. But of corse, it is your choice, i think best if you do more research around.

I believe the ticks start breeding at your home already, it can't solve in short period of time. You need to apply spot on on your dog every month, and use ticks solutions mix with water then mop the floor everyday.

tick solution? where can i get tat?
can tell me more abt the zero flea spot on? then iszit better than frontline or frontline better?
aih headache headache

For me.... ahah.... I have not had a tick infestation for the past 2 years.... the last time had ticks was from Chelsea when got from breeder but luckily only a few.... if she didn't come in, can say almost 6 years no ticks or fleas.... my cat also no parasites on the body.

Maybe something in my house is scaring away the ticks? I have grass all over the garden hahahah.... bring my dogs out for walks, still no ticks loh.....

But if they do have, we use Bayticol.... if your dog tends to lick the body alot, use Frontline. The Spray kind is fast and effective. If you have ticks say on carpets, grass.... then I suggest you spray Bayticol on those stuff so that whatever ticks are in there dies before it gets onto your dog.

Bayticol is cheap, Rm16 or RM18 for a small bottle, and you have to dilute it with a bucket of water... got instructions lah. For body, Frontline is safer....

i simply apply it using my bare hands,no problems yet
