Hi ladies. I am a TRUE Floridian. Born here, and have lived here for 50
years. We take our dogs in the RV and when visiting many of the wooded State
Parks we have encountered ticks! Especially at Tomoka State Park. Yet we
frequent Fort DeSoto on the west coast and as of yet to encounter ticks. I use
the Advantix on our girls after the episode over on the east coast at Tomoka.
It was horrible!! I always check my girls when RVing now. Fleas have always
been widespread problem in Florida for as I long as I can remember, but I do
believe the ticks are trouble in particular areas. Someone told me that they
are a problem up in the St. Augustine area too.
All I will say is, I hate the darn things and they make me paranoid! YUCK!!
Becky & the girls
