We have a home in TV and live mostly in Cape Coral. About 4 years ago, our lab brought a few ticks into our Cape Coral house. I tried a flee and tick collar and bought spray products for the lawn at home depot and lowes. None of this worked. The problem lasted about 4 months. Each day and night we checked our home and the dog for ticks. We would find only a few here and there, but it still was annoying. Finally, our vet told us about a product called Comfortus. It is a tablet taken once a month. Also, at about the same time, I was told that none of the retail sprays or other products really work. The person advised me to go to our local industrial park and purchase the granuals that the professionals use. I immediately picked up a 40 lb bag and spread it on my lawn. The combination of the Comfortus and the professional strength product eliminated the problem. We have never had another tick in the home or on the dog. GOOD LUCK!!!!!
