I also use my bare hands. From what the vet has told me, Frontline is not harmful coz it is not absorbed into the blood stream so it is not dangerous. That's why we can use our hands. It just goes on the skin and doesn't cause any damage nor allergies.

hmm where can i get this bayticol?
headache nia suddenly so many black dots on my ceiling and wall which moves... argh~!~

You can get from the vet or petshop. What my dad normally does is mix the Bayticol with water just like the instructions say, then he fills it inside a spray bottle and spray on walls, cages and also areas where my dogs normally sleep.

yes yes, follow bayticol bottle's instructions (diluted it looks murky white like dettol), put into spray bottle (or even better the pro kind for gardens) and go drench your house. it smells terrible though (like the mosquito misting vans) and dun let your furkids lick them...

how much does tis bayticol cost and how long do i need to apply it?

Ticks problem is forever on-going. I think cannot completely eliminate gua.

My furkids' tick problem is under control because my parents check on Abby and Chelsea's body EVERYDAY. Everyday will say, "Come Chelsea-girl, good girl, come Pa/Ma check tick tick". Then they will come to my parents and lie down with legs open wide.

I guess they like it gua, like body massage.

If you guys see the fugly bloated ones, like raisin sized, better fai fai squish it. Those are egg-carrying females. Never ever sweep or throw the ticks into the drain because they'll climb back up. Just use a tissue and squish the parasites to death.

Once in a while will see a few ticks (spider like ones, not bloated) walking here and there, so I just use my fingernails to squish 'em. But ar... I'm very geli if want me to touch the bloated ones. Big big yet soft. I dare not touch the bloated ones, unless if I have tissue paper.

i always used pesticide...forgot wat name but the color is milky white when diluted. i used it to control green bugs on my plants and suprisingly it works very well for ticks, fleas or watever its called

i used a sponge to apply a highly diluted pesticide around the body
then i put on the big funnel like thingy to prevent it from licking. usually 2 days time and the fleas will become dried fleas on the skin.

it spreads from 1 dog to another. especially if u bring it out for a walk and let it play around with other dogs. if u keep it in ur house only, once its eliminated, it won't come back.........until someone brings it back

warning warning sadist moderator detected!

Eeeew... GROSS la. Last time I squish with paperweight with the parasite inside two layers of tissue and somehow, the blood *spuuurt* onto my glasses. Gross. If got bloated ones, I just find a glass bottle and fill up quarter of it with thinner or foh-shui. Then I drown the bloody buggers.

They turn almost white the next day, macam kena bleach wor.

But the popping sound really nice, coz we get the satisfaction of killing the parasite that's feeding on our furkids. This is not sadism. Sadism is like my friend who poke the bloated ones with satay stick until it become deflated

You can always drown the ticks in some alcohol.... but I normally just pick the ticks out using my fingers and squishing them using tissue paper... like what nairud said, I will only be satisfied when I hear the popping sound.... that means squish till dead liao.

Not sure whether it is true but heard from someone that if you squeeze those bloated one - will not kill the eggs but might risk spreading them.
Usually, I just put them into a container fill with clorox, salt or dynamo and watch them struggle inside the solution.
They usually become transparent like the next day (like kena hakis by asid) <--- 100% kill the eggs also.
Don't want to squeeze them with my finger - messy ler!

i have those ikea candles...with an aluminum cup/base.. heat it up... i preserve them buggers. lol with wax

hmm so in conclusion i need to things? frontline and boyticol?
can someone tell me around hw much ah boyticol?

eww gross. now my house got a lot of those fat raisin ones but very little spider ones. em they havent grown to their maximum size yet just like a grain of sand only. evrytime my dog walk around they will fall on the floor wor. why is that so?

because they are finding for a new house,that how tick spread..

updates updates! tick is under control after 2 months of spot on usage and nw itz obvious there are less ticks nw~! huhuhuhuh

ahah yea it so yuckieeeee
and i do love the popping sound
relive i killed one

Tick is always the problem.... so far my dog is tick free for almost 6 months now everyday i comd and check it to see any tick. i think the most important thing to keep their sleep/ play place clean to avoid tick but if take back from walk no choice lo. usually i pick it and drown it in a bottle of oil now all the tick like astronaut dangling in the oil hahahah.

wah don't kill it using ur hand..coz the eggs will not be dead..
if you find one..put it into the kerosene..or thick oil..
then the eggs will be dead also..
this is one of the traditional way lah.. hehehe
