-- I know there are chemicals that can be applied to the yard that eliminate fleas. You might want to see if there is a yard toping that will eliminate both ticks and fleas. Good luck!
I was just thinking that, and i will be doing something this spring for my yard. Unfortunately, I am surrounded by acres of woods...and I know at the very least BigBoy goes and explores there...so...I'm sure that is where most of the problem lies. But regardless, even if I do my yard, which is about 1 acre of grass, it would help. Thank you!PeteyOchiFern -- I know there are chemicals that can be applied to the yard that eliminate fleas.

The new formula of revolution (revolution plus) protects against fleas, ticks, and several types of worms, including heartworm. That would probably be your best bet.Good luck on treating them. Don't forget about fleas They might need advantage or revolution. Maybe your vet has something to treat them both for fleas and ticks
DE is good for killing external parasites on animals but you have to rub it into their fur, or dust them with a large amount so it covers them, all while making sure it doesn't get in their eyes. It's great if they like to be touched but not so much if they don't.I have read great things about food-grade diatomaceous earth.
