Everytime my dogs go in the garden they must come back with at least five ticks each in the their paws. This is disgusting, I showered them this morning and found 10 of these horrible insects on the floor.
Has anyone been confronted to that problem? What's the solution? Has anyone got the number of a reliable company that can come and spray the garden?

Yes, I am 300% sure there are ticks, hence why i am trying to find a solution to get rid of them. Thanks Sabrina H for advice. <em>edited by titotu on 23/10/2011</em>

Any pest control company can spray for ticks, just make sure you specify that ticks are the problem. As for the dogs, 48 hours after washing them, apply frontline. I wouldnt worry too my about catching any diseases from ticks here, they are pretty harmless in comparison to the ones in Europe.

Are you sure they are ticks? Ticks are really dangerous for pets (heartworm) and can be dangerous for people too if they get imbedded in your skin.
