We just purchased D. Earth. We have adopted a Terrier mix and he is the only dog that attracts ticks here. I am going to dust him with the DE, but my question is how often do I need do this? Every couple of days? Once a week? This is all new to me, never had ticks before and don't like the creatures! We are dusting the bush that we believe he is getting the ticks from and eventually burning the stupid bush. But in the mean time we are going to give this a try. He is the only one that has ticks and he is the only one that is fascinated with the bush and goes under it looking for creatures!!! Thanks.
