Bio Spot has never worked on ticks in my area - i.e. NC. We've never had a
flea problem, so I can't comment on it's effectiveness against fleas. My
friend on the NC coast has told me Bio Spot doesn't work very well against
fleas in areas where fleas are a big problem. Such as the sandy soil found
on the coast.
I've researched all the animal pesticides on the market, and scientific
studies has shown the active ingredient in Frontline Plus to be the most
effective against ticks. That's why I use Frontline Plus.
I really hate how expensive it is to treat 4 or 5 dogs, but I can't deal
with ticks. Especially having such a large deer population in the
neighborhood. I'm also worried about other tick-borne diseases besides
Lyme's, including Tick Paralysis. I had a Collie who developed severe tick
paralysis not once, but twice! Very scary!
I hate these nasty little buggers with a passion!!!

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Follow up on Bio Spot
I'm getting so many people writing to me about the responses that I got
about Bio Spot and I'm trying to write back to everyone that I decided
I'll send this to the List or other wise I'll be writing the same thing
over and over again. Most of the people who used this product told me
that they had no problems with it and many had used it for many years.
Then there were others who said that their dogs had problems with it,
itching skin and irritation. One little dog died while on it. Someone
wrote and told me that she used to work for a vet and that she saw many
dogs come in sick that were on this product. Some said if your dog has
any skin irritations to use Dawn dish washing liquid diluted with water
and bath him down followed by lots of clean water. There were a couple
of people who said that they had problems with other flea and tick
treatments as well, but not too many. Then there were those who said
that they switch back and forth on the products. Every animal is
different and what works for one may not work for another. I hope this
helps. Barbara
