Talldog, one more way to squeeze an extra dime out of a dollar is to buy bigger size for bigger dogs and then split the treatment 2 or 3 ways with a syringe. You can triple your treatments for the same price or pretty close to it. I did this when I had 3 dogs.

I want to thank everyone for your replies. This info will be very helpful. I have three beagles and just spent over three hundred $ on a few shots. So I know I better learn alot more. Thanks again Phil

Repel... permanone/Tick Check

Post by Moore Beagles »

Smitty's RIGHT! I get it at Walmart. You can tell Smitty gets in the woods, because if you like to hunt and don't like bugs permanone is the stuff. Its known as Permithern also, a slightly different blend. Its the real deal! You won't see em, ticks, or skeeters, BUT you do not want to spray it on your skin! Its toxic, but so is Lyme desease, and west nile virus. I use it for Turkey season, and early fall, when applied it smells kinda like kerosene, but when it drys its odorless, so its great for archery deer season. It stays in the clothes for a couple of washings too. But they make a milder spray for pets, and horses too.
The reason I use Revolution is it takes care of Ticks, Fleas, Ear Mites, and Heartworms, so you get alot of bang for your buck, and it does it all with one treatment a month.

Now Phil all this being said, all this prevention is still no excuse not to check Your Girl for ticks! :D Gregg

Frontline has a spray on formula. Its by far the best there is. Ive tried them all. The hartz spray formula is cheap but it doesnt last that long and with sweat and water it doesnt last at all. The frontline last alot longer. They say you need to only treat once a month but look at the dogs coat if if feels dry re apply before you go back out. I like the spray because you can get in all those areas you dont with the spot system.

Bayer tree and shrub spray at Lowes. $20 for a half gallon and it will last a looong time. Squirt about 2-3 cc down the back once a month and forget about ticks and fleas.

Knocks fleas out...same as admire but cheaper..
Hey everybody, go to Lowes or anywhere that they sell pesticides(i buy it at Lowes) it's in the garden section and it's in a blue quart plastic bottle labeled Bayer.....just like the aspirin company.....advanced 12month tree and shrub insect control concentrate.....turn the bottle to the back side and it should say active ingredient....Imidacloprid 1.47%.. this is the exact same chemical as admire but it is more dilute so we have to put more on the dog. I have been using it for over a year now on my ten hounds and several friends dogs plus a billy goat. This is also the same chemical the vet sales trade name advantage...but it is more dilute than it but way much cheaper. A quart of this here in Alabama cost eighteen bucks and on average you can treat around sixty dogs with the quart. I put fifteen mililitres....15ml on all dogs from 40 to 65 lbs.... 20 ml on 65 to 90 lbs and 25 ml on a dog over 90 lbs. Put it on every dog that you own inside and outside every month. You won't have to spray anything because each dog will become a flea killing machine....Within 24 hours after treating the dog any flea that bites the dog for a month or more will die within a few minutes.....as more eggs hatch and fleas are born they will bite the dog and be dead quick. I have seen massive infestations irradicated by one dog being treated and every flea in their house and outside was dead in four days.
Buy this stuff and a 30 ml syringe.... if the dog will lay down squirt it on their bellies and rub it in all over the bellie and chest. I f the dog won't lay down just start at the base of the tail and applie a strip from there up to their neck and rub it in. The idea is to get as much on their skin as possible because it is absorbed into their bloodstream and within 24 hours it is circulating throughout their body for at least a month. There will be a dry streak down their back when it drys and the next day if you don't like seeing that then take a spray bottle of water and dampen the streak and rub it in....then even more of the chemical will now get in their bloodstream but it really won't matter cause the fleas are in trouble either way. Try not to bathe the dogs a few days before and a few days after putting this on them.
This stuff has shown amazing results here for i have never been flea free this long........over a year..... I have fought fleas all my life untill i found this stuff....i mean i dont have a one here.....good luck and i hope it works as good for y'all as it has for me.....FullCry

BTW Imidacloprid is the main Chemical used in K9 Advantix (also made by Bayer) But they also add permethrin. Wonder what they use to make it water resistent?
