Ticks this spring!!

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.

I hope so... im just searching for a nice piece of property out that way. Hope to be living there by fall.

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.

Think thats the same stuff I bought today. 1 big chewy pill for $80!! Good for 3 months. Bought 1 for our Frenchie and 1 for our Mountain Bernese. Almost the same price but a way smaller pill. Could have got a years supply for the Frenchie and got her the big pill. Vets!!

I don't understand any of this reply at all, or get the joke if you were trying to make one lol.
I have no idea WTF you are going on about here.

Sorry Hitzy, I tried to reply to the fat ugly blood engorged tick.
It would have been much funnier with the fat tick pic.
I was referring to the fat engorged tick as he ate Natalie.
Of course, now that I have had to explain it it’s not that funny! LOL
I’m not sure why the fat tick picture wouldn’t show…

Here’s an option I haven’t tried. I’ve used similar but much more concentrated solutions over the years and had great success after diluting to a safe level. Direct sunlight UV is the enemy of permethrin and degrades it quickly.
