Ticks - Page 2

Hubby got one on him when he was at work. He said he was only outside a short time and not near the wooded area when one crawled up his pant leg.

Pulled one off of Piggy #1 a couple nights ago. She FREAKED OUT!

My next door neighbor got lyme disease.

*shudder* I can't stand those things. I haven't seen any yet, but I'm sure it wont' be long.

I can't stand ticks, I always get the heebeejeebees(sp?) everytime I pull them off the ponies.

What I truly hate is when someone looks at you funny and then says "Don't move, there's something on you." I normally start screaming at them to get it off of me while trying not to upset whatever kind of bug is on me.

My husband had one crawl up his pantleg, and he was just out a few minutes, trying to get the dog to come in. I've started the dog on the flea and tick preventative - hope it works. I should probably get some for the cat, too, even tho we don't let him out.

Hartz makes a spray on repellent that keeps the ticks from wanting to hang on to the fur. I use it on my schauzers because even tho the Advantage kills the ticks that bite them, it doesn't stop the ticks from hitching a ride into the house.

Why don't you just shave your schnauzer again so they're easily visible.

It'll probably sting.
