Re: Re:avoiding reinfection via pets

[Guest guest]

I believe my beloved long-haired cat brought ticks into the house one of

which infected me (got infected again will hiking in woods). Short-haired cats

can usually remove them through grooming. I've used frontline on my cat, but it

only kills the ticks after they bite. So now my cat is strictly an indoor pet.

He doesn't like it, but it gives me a bit more piece of mind. The areas where

tick-borne infections are endemic is spreading: up the coast of Maine, into

Canada etc. The ticks hitch a ride on birds during migration.

Re: [ ] Re: tick repellant nontoxic

Best repellant: stay out of the woods, tall grasses, where deer

forage, woodpiles,

away from unprotected pets and the outdoors anywhere on the Eastern

seaboard and wherever

the deer tick may live. That would include northern Europe, the US

midwest, and

where else? Where else is it not safe to go out?

Combing with a good feline flea comb should solve that problem. Comb out the

critters and pop them in a zip-lock bag as you do, making it easier to dispose

of them safely.

Frontline is not working with my Aussie, so I am going back to Advantix. I don't

think either is a " repellant " . the host has to be bitten. I am not sure about

Advantix, but Frontline is strongly suspected as a cause of cancer in pets. I

picked the Frontline up at the local Petclub warehouse, trying to avoid the high

cost of buying Advantix from my vet. Bad choice. With Advantix, they(ticks or

fleas) bite, they die. They lay eggs and hatch, they die. A few cycles and you

are pretty much rid of them. I also bomb the house regularly.

I am going to search flea and tick traps again as well. If you google it, there

are some interesting non-toxic home-made traps. Actually, the flea

bombs(foggers) that I got at Petclub seem way less effective than any I have

used before, so I'm wondering if they are not selling bootleg product. Either

that or the fleas are becoming immune to treatment. That certainly is not beyond

the realm of possibilities.I check my dog two or three times a day and comb with

a cat flea comb, but she is an Aussie and is nearly impossible to clean her out

without a good bath, but she lets me work her over so she knows it is good for

her.I am definitely going back to Advantix, as it is not possible to stop going

outside with my pet. It's one thing to have a pet that has never been outside,

bad enough on it's own, but to do that to a pet accustomed to going out, that's

just wrong. I would find another home for mine.
