I use permethrin for clothes/gear and deet or picaridin for skin and stuff.For my dog, I get a pill/treat from the vet for flea and tick control called simparica. If she gets a tick, it is dead within an hour, and hasn't brought one home since we started using it.

If she gets a tick, it is dead within an hour, and hasn't brought one home since we started using it.Hmm, I will have to check with our vet on simparica. Sounds great, however our dog has a "fragile" GI system. In fact, we have recently had to take him off his heartworm medication. We finally figured out that his GI problems were about 4 days after the hearworm meds... Has your pet had any stomach "issues" from being on simparica?This was in the product safety info part of the site:"The most frequently reported adverse reactions were vomiting and diarrhea."
The only time I've seen her throw up was after eating a whole sock.
We used to dust ourselves (shoes, socks, trousers) with garden sulfur before going walking in tick areas.

Or wads of paper towels. Once she ate a bag of 100 paintballs. They were green paint though, and that just made yard cleanup more difficult!
