Fighting ticks on dogs

foreman · Joined: 15 Jul 2003 Posts: 1

[b]We have a terrible problems with ticks on our dogs (two labs, one full grown, one puppy), even after using neimatoads (Sp?) and DT. I have some orange oil, could I ever get it dilluted enough to use as a "dip" or "bath" to discourage ticks and not harm animals.

Also, I purchased a bag of Missing Link but when I got it home from the store, I realized it had an expiration date of 0303. Does that mean its not any good any more? The bag is still sealed and as far as I know it has been in the cool confines of the store all this time.

thanks for any help.

According to the Texas TKO site www.texastko.com you can mix TKO (and orange oil product) at 1 oz. to 1 gallon of water and spray directly on the dogs.

You can also look at www.fleantickbgone.com for their product.

Good luck to you and your furry pals.
