Ticks
Can anyone tell me more about ticks? I've just found one crawling around the kitchen, not for the first time either. The dog seems clear and we never find them anywhere else in the house, so why the kitchen which has no soft furnishings etc?
Also, I think she picks them up from the bushes in our main garden - she's not allowed out there very often, as we restrict her to the side garden where there are no plants/grass for her to damage. On the rare occasion she has been out the back, I have found a tick on her a couple of days later.
What are these ticks living on in the garden between dog visits, and how do I get rid of them? She wears a Preventic collar and is treated with the vet's Frontline equivalent, but they don't seem to be 100% effective.
Also, do ticks have a season? Will they die off in the winter?
What is the name of the nasty tick disease and what are the symptoms?
Many thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
