Right now I use Frontline monthly, once the the weather is cold (below 40) I switch to every 3 months just for fleas. Someone once told me that when the temperature is above 40, the ticks start coming out again.

here in PA the biggest flea & tick season is from Sept. thru Nov. This is the time of year I'm really careful.....oddly enough summer isn't usually a problem for me. I'd guess NY is similiar. :)

Yeah Debi. I'm in PA too, I haven't seen a tick or flea for a while. There were mosquitoes in May/June, but nothing for a while either. I'm not complaining, I usually end up with 10+ bites when they are out...

I'm not complaining either....matter of fact, I'm gonna type this secretly..but mosquitoes haven't been a problem around here this year for some reason. That's so great cause like you...seems they usually think I am their buffet.
