Amazon has spray called Ultra Shield with 0.50 permethrin.

It os not cheap but will do the job.

Yup, this was out in the Sandilands. The vet said they've had tick reports since March.

Out past Steinback it looks like..

Any good places to shoot out that way?

Lyme disease gets very little attention for both humans and pets in Canada. Not sure why that is.

I think that veterinarians are way better to ID and start treatment than doctors. Docs have a tendency to disregards it.

In-laws' dog tested positive for Lyme last year. She's an older dog, but she got frail and lost her appetite about the time they figure she got Lyme. I'd be willing to bet there's 50 dogs with undiagnosed Lyme for every one that is.

Depends. Here they do. Both Vets have tick tally charts with number of ticks found and how many tested positive. From pets they seen in their clinic. Even break it down to each month.

Well even pharmacies.

That causes a meat allergy from a tick bite.

They're usually bad this time of year in crowsnest pass ab, no signs yet. Have been giving my malamute something called bravecto for years and he hasn't shown any side effects. Idea is the tick bites him then falls off, haven't read into it, just took the vet at her word. They would otherwise bury themselves in his fur and get a free ride into the house. Nasty little things.

Picked the first tick off me ever yesterday, solid little buggers, takes some squishing to kill them.
