[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar I, post: 50155, member: 3755"] Well, someone was telling me today that olive oil prevents them from attaching because the oil coats their pores and they cannot breathe. Another person told me baby shampoo works ~ and that it will kill living fleas, as well. But what I am wondering is whether attaching duct tape to the dog's collar might not work. The tick could never make it up onto the head (or down onto the rest of the body) without getting stuck in the duct tape. Maybe. No one told me about that. I am just wishful thinking. I wonder whether baby powder would make a difference? Maybe clog up their breathing tubes or something? I am so glad the Frontline Plus is working. I was talking to a lady today who felt one crawling in her nose in the middle of the night. [img]:smile:[/img] You don't even want to know where she found it attached. She tried the liquid soap on a cotton ball thing (didn't work) and the burnt match thing (which also didn't work). Finally, she pulled it out with a tweezers and put betadine on the wound. It's like a nightmare up here. What I am telling myself today is: "I don't have an issue with that." Just to cut down the panic. Barbara [/QUOTE]
