Tick control - NOT Spot On

As the title suggests I need a product that will stop my dog and cats getting ticks but I am really unhappy about the idea of using the Spot On type treatments as I think they are pretty dangerous.

Any ideas?

    Spot on works fine with my dogs. I use Frontline.

    Otherwise you can get a flea collar or I think there's something you can sprinkle on their food. Best speak to your vet.

    Found a natural treatment I can add to their food :j

    I'm not putting them at risk with a powerful pesticide. Just not worth the chance of the serious side effects...............

    Try using Teatree oil, the 100% best stuff not the cheap watered down stuff. x
