    Question ticks

    my dogs have had ticks last week and this week. Dont they hibernate or something? it seems awful early. Im in sutherland and its had a hard frost this winter some of my perennials are dead. things which have survived last winter. I thought that might kill off the ticks.

    Same over here Jean.

    We've taken a few of our collie and our friends Jack Russel's had a few unwelcome visitors.

    Default Not on my two yet

    I have not had any on my two this year - got one 2 years ago and found it dropped off with tea tree oil, best stuff I ever used, dropped off in seconds and was complete. Horrid things.

    I saw a tick removing tool for sale in the pet shop and was going to buy that.
    Tea tree oil sounds just as effective.

    we bought one from pets at home and it worked well, just twist and pull.
