Tick Problem by BenNash: 1:06pm On Aug 14, 2022
Hello, please I have a serious issue with ticks on my dogs.
Bought different types of tick spray but they don't work effectively.
Is there a tablet one can use? That won't be potentially harmful or something?

I'm asking for a tablet cuz most of the ticks are in the ears. There's literally no way to kill the except there's a drug for it.

You can buy amitraz and use it to bath your dog, also try to fumigate your environment.

Bravecto is very ok. Amitraz is also good, but my problem is that if the dog lick or drinks it, na Gobe be that. I'll suggest fipronil, It's very ok. Spray it directly into the ears, and when next you bath the dog, you wash away the dead ticks. You also have to give them invermticin shot to make their blood toxic for parasites.

The problem you might be facing is the ticks are hiding. Spray all his hard to reach parts like inside the ears, between and under his paws and the tail and butthole. But you have to also fumigate the surroundings because they drop and hide too.

Yeah I've heard about the Amitraz but it's too risky.
Please do you know how much the Bravecto and ivermectin cost?

I missed the part you said invermticin shot. Thought it was a tablet lol. Found out the Bravecto is 25k lol. That's really expensive.
