What is best to kill ticks?

[waggytails]

I am just about ready to flea Hattie and seeing as were going to Scotland shortly i was wondering what is the best flea and tick deterrant.  At the moment we just use frontline.

Well we are currently using Prac-tic here as recommended to us by the vet over our usual treatments, we have a working Springer and find that due to the environments she goes in Prac Tic seems to give the best results.

I was going to suggest stamping on them but see thats not quite the angle you were looking for

Loads of people seem to recommend the Billy No Mates.  Never used it on the girls but I might now.

If you don't already have one, I'd recommend getting an O'Tom (pack of 2) to take with you.

If you don't already have one, I would reccomend getting an OH  It's the easiest and fastest way to get rid of ticks.

Step 1: Spot tick

Step 2: Say "Ewwwww" while wrinkling your nose

Step 3: Hand doggy to OH

See? Problem solved in 3 easy steps... It's like magic

On the other hand, they ARE more high maintenance than the other suggestions.

Thanks for your replies,
I have got a O tom and a oh, so may go with that option.

Combine the two and you have the ultimate tick-o-nator!!!!

Do they do giant O Toms to get rid of the OH's though?

We use frontline but were recommended by a vet in the Lakes on a recent visit that if we are to frequent places where ticks are prevalent to use a deterrent such as Advantix.  Havent tried it yet though!
