Hello, this is my first posting so I hope I can be of some help. I've struggled with fleas, ticks and august mites for years [+o(], I bear the scars as well!! Frontline is OK but you have to keep at it, I have used scalibor collars on my dogs for the the past 2 summers, total freedom!! They last 5 or 6 months, are pricey and you have to rummage around the thick coated dogs to make sure the collars sit well on the skin or at least close to it; but they work[:D]. http://www.intervet.co.uk/Products_Public/Scalibor_Collar/010_Overview.asp hope this helps
