Tick infestation - Help!

[redfarang]

My house is full of ticks. I made the mistake of not treating my dog as soon as I moved here and only last week I realize he was full of ticks. I bought Frontline for him (the ticks are still there so far, but I know it takes some time for Frontline to work), but in the meantime, I can't get rid of the ticks in the house either. Every morning when I wake up, there are a couple crawling on me. I'm going crazy. My husband doesn't seem that affected by the whole thing, but it's driving me up the wall.

I fugured the best solution is to treat both the house/yard and the dog at the same time. Is there a company I can call to have the house/yard sprayed? We have a very young daughter (and the dog), so I'd prefer something not toxic. I just saw a post from somebody asking about dry ice and I remember somebody told me once you can make a homemade trap for ticks using dry ice. Or maybe there's a spray I can use to spray small corners/areas of the house? I'm willing to try anything.

Front line does not always work on our dog and even after we have treated him he can still get the odd tick or two. His has now got a flea and tick collar and that seems to work much better without the ill affects he sometimes got from Front line. The collars are available at the pet grooming shop in Market Village car park.

Yes, our experience with Steve is that his non toxic spray take care of everything you never thought you had around until you see them dead on the floor.

I read somewhere that the collars are pretty toxic. Did you ever have any problems with them?
