[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 47920, member: 2211"] My H hates mowing the lawn, but I can't push the mower he bought me for mother's day two years ago - it's huge and heavy. I say this because keeping your lawn mowed down low helps to keep the ticks out of your play yard; instead, they like to stay in the wooded areas and high grasses more. Clipping your pup's fur shorter will help as well. And perhaps putting some type of tick/flea repellant on him is a good idea. Also, a daily brushing will help catch them before they've embedded themselves in his skin. Have you considered spraying around the perimeters of your yard with some type if bug killer? There is one...I think it's called SEVIN...that works GREAT at keeping ticks, fleas and beetles out of your yard. I did it one year because we had a real problem and within a few days, there were none. We had to carry our dogs to the street, however, so they didn't risk getting any on thier feet for a few days. I hope you can get some control over this - tick bites can become infected and reall cause a lot of problems. [/QUOTE]
