I have 6.  Yes, it's expensive to spray.  The spray is all  natural though 
(made of flowers) so no poison.

We have  11 acres; spraying would be out of the question:  Cost prohibitive 
 
for one and also POISON.  No thanks.

I have the bug control people spray a product made  of  chrysanthemums.
(Costs a small fortune and PA has some  agricultural  regulations that they 
can
only go so many feet from  a path or fence line...have  I mentioned I don't
grow my own  food???)  I have never seen a flea but live  w/ a LOT of trees 
 
and
brush so ticks can be an issue.  At this point, only   dogs that are
campaigning are on a topical.

I need  some help from “da list.”  I have been  considering non-poisonous
alternatives to flea and tick control.  The  bugs are horrible here in NC
and I hate to admit that I HAVE been using the  topical poisons.  But I  
feel
they lower the immune system.   I can powder the guys with DE—seems  pretty
good.  I can feed  them garlic—that’s pretty good too.  What  are some 
other  “
natural” remedies that some of you use?  PLEASE   share.
