I got a bottle of some 'natural' stuff a few years ago..thought it was so great that I found something that didn't stink too badly.
Uck! I was wrong! It smelled kind of nice for the first couple squirts then it went on getting stronger and sticking in my nose. Oddly enough, I only used it once.

Are PetCo/PetSmart ever cheaper than shopping regular stores? Last year, their flea/tick stuff cost more than buying it from a vet.

This year, I want to treat the yard as well as the beasts. My neighbors are cattle and there's a really big herd of deer romping the area..and I expect this to be a worse-than-normal year for ticks (and fleas)
I think if I can get something spread on the yard, I might not have to poison the cats directly so much during the season. Plus, it would be nice to go from the house to the car without having to catch ticks running up my legs while I'm driving.

This place has a LOT of ticks.
