Hi, I'm living in central California, ticks tend to be ferocious here. I'd like feedbacks of anyone who used Seresto instead of Advantix?is it better?

Hi, So far so good - fleas and ticks. I live in Rode Island and get our share of ticks. My daughter put one on her mini schnauzer who the ticks love and she hasn't had any so far this year! I have one on my shih Tzu with her it is the fleas and again so far so good.

First of all, I hate the smell of Advantix and putting that liquid on my dog's skin. I have three dogs, live in the southeast where there are ticks galore, but have not found a tick or flea on the dogs since I started using Seresto. I like the fact the collar lasts 8 months and there isn't a smelly liquid mess to contend with. In addition, our vet said she had much rather use a collar for flea and tick control than the liquid preventative. The vet was charging $75 for the collar, but Amazon's price was much cheaper. A win-win all around in my opinion.

I'll put it to you this way--I'm in WV and the ticks here are hearty little devils used to surviving pretty cold nights. I tired the Seresto on both of my dogs and went back to my previous anti-flea and tick med (Frontline Plus). Although one dog weights 35 lbs and the other weights 100 lbs, both had to use the large dog version. What made it even worse was that after having used the Seresto for 3 weeks and pulling embedded ticks off both my dogs every evening (ewww), I had to go a whole week with NO protection to let the Seresto wear off before I could apply the Frontline. I won't make that mistake again!

We live in the center of Tennessee it would be a nice change if the tick where only ferocious. We put the Seeds to collar on our dog about two months not one live tick in over ten weeks. If he gets a tick it is dead before it bites him. We used to pick a dozen or better off him every evening . You will love this collar.

I am sold on Seresto. we live in a rural area with lots of trees and our dog is allergic to every flea medication on the market. so far after a month she has no fleas or ticks and no adverse reaction.

we live in tick heaven, the woods of the Ozarks. without protection the dog would be covered. Seresto has not repelled the ticks, but they bite and die. We still have to pick ticks every two days. There will be 12-20 on the day, in the process of shrinking and dying. The only reason I have not returned to preventic collars every 4 weeks (not 6) is we are testing this collar for our vet. Advantix and frontline dont work well for us here. If we went back to preventic, the collars would end up costing about as much over time as for the one Seresta but they do deliver protection quickly. Seresta appears to build up over the first month.

I live in middle Tennessee. We have LOTS of fleas and ticks. About a month after we put the collars on, we had a few rainy days and extreme heat, fleas hatched. Had to fog the house and we are pretty much flealess again. We live on a farm and it is impossible to get rid of all fleas and ticks but this collar has been great. 4 of our pets have them on. I have not seen a tick on them since I put the collars on. My vote is the Seresto collar over the Advantix hands down.

For us here in SC, near the Georgia state line, we are having better luck with Seresto than with anything else. We used tabs from the vet last year. Something new and pretty expensive...these collars are working just as well and I don't have to give 7 dogs & 2 cats pills each month! Seresto will be more economical in the long run.

For ticks, I have used Frontline, Advantix and Seresto and they all seem to work well. For fleas, Seresto has worked the best for my Shin-tzu.

I'm not sure about it. I use this product for lice and nits. I never try to use it for ticks.

Very effective. We had a terrible tick problem on all 5 dogs, even spraying the yard and applying the monthly protection could not control this. We started using Ovitrol, spraying all dogs between their monthly application. It starts killing the ticks and nymphs immediately and has a residual action that keeps them from reproducing. We will never be completely tick free, but believe me, I see very few ticks any more.

How long have they been on it? It took my dogs about a good month to work. Not sure if it's hot where you're at but that may also be a factor. When it gets hot I tend to find a flea or two on my pups and that's when I'll add advantix ( temporarily) Hope this helps

http://www.cedarcidestore.com/natural_pest_control.html There's a video and the instructions for dilution. We've used this product to fight fleas in our yard/garden stones area. It WORKS! :-) We also saw a decrease in ticks!

No. I was disappointed. Even though I followed instructions, the fleas were back in a day or two. We were past tick season already, however. We also live in a wooded area, a part of the northern range of the Southern Pine Barrens in the East.

No this one is just for ticks, they used to have a preventic plus collar that was for both but they stopped making it :(

I really haven't try it with ticks, yet. I live in the caribbean near the beach and the mosquitoes and all sort of flying insects appear at sunset and at least this keeps them away. Hope this help. But i hear that for pest control like bedbugs, fleas, ticks and roaches there is a product call Diatomaceus Earth (Food Grade) that is awesome to eliminate them.

I am going to buy some based on this article that I read.http://www.primallyinspired.com/easy-natural-tick-repellent-that-really-works-essential-oils/

I have not found any information that it works against ticks - I would go on the manufacturers site and adm them for their input

I use Lurex and Octenal in the Houston area. I find we have all kinds of Mosquitos here in Houston. So I use both attractants. So far it has worked well.

I leave it on my dog. I only remove it to give him a bath. Ticks seem to LOVE him, we live in a wooded area. I'm sure if you keep the packaging and put the collar back in it while not using I guess that would be ok. I recommend washing your hands thoroughly after touching it. My fingers always get a tingling sensation when I handle the collar. It does a fantastic job of keeping the ticks off of my Scottie, and well worth it!

I have been researching this for PCOS, and have read it is the Myo-Inosiltol you want on several sources...I'm now confused. Explanation for why I am reading it is Myo I want and have yet ran into D-chiro? Would like to save myself from buying the wrong one [in all truth, I'm out if it's something that costs 50 a month, no way I could afford that]. :(

We have used this product along with Advantix II and Virbac Preventic Tick Collar for Dogs, so we are not sure as to the individual contributions of each product, but we have not seen any ticks or fleas in our dogs, even though they have daily outings in our large back yard, where I am sure there must be all sorts of critters.

I've been using this for a couple of years and I have not seen a single tick... My place was infested with fleas when I got this the first time, and it got rid of all of them in no time.

I'm sorry, I haven't had occasion to use it with ticks, so can't help with that. This product has really lived up to its reputation with fleas, and I' ve used the spray for my basement with excellent results. Based on their other products, I would trust it to work on ticks.

I've used this product before and again this year after I found a couple of ticks on my dogs. It seems to work excellent as after I use it I haven't found any ticks, and I don't always remember to use it everyday, but do most days and I've very happy not to be finding anymore ticks!
