    I think even if you didn't remove the ticks, they would soon die. Ingesting the blood from a dog treated with Frontline should cause the tick to die and drop off very soon.

    But the longer you leave them in there the greater the chance you have of your dog getting lyme disease.

    Luckily Florida doesn't have as many cases of lyme disease as some places, but we do have cases of it.
    Ticks are a big problem around here even in nice neighborhoods. It's worse here though because of the woods. It's pretty common for us to get wild animals in our yard, usually racoons and things. We do on occasion see larger animals, this past summer we saw some deer. We have a wild life preserve about a half mile down the road. We also live between 3 lakes.

    I'm going to have Justin put down granules again tonight.
