Yes I used borax last year in my house on the carpets when fleas moved in.
It worked. I never thought to put it outside. I live in the mountains though
so it would be hard to do other than the main yard area.
I will not waste money on Frontline its totally toxic and didn't work at all
last year.

I am not sure if this is a good idea or not; however I know that borax
kills bugs of all kinds and is relatively safe.
I am in the process of putting it on my lawn because if the soil boron
level is above a certain level it will kill creeping charley in the
grass. The protocol calls for doing it every 3 years, and for
dissolving it in water first. If I get too much on it can turn the
grass yellow, or even kill it; but if I remember where I put it, it
works pretty well. I am wondering if I will have any fleas or ticks
when I am done.

My dogs are picking them up every time I let them out so of course they
are in my house. Getting routine to pick ticks off myself and kids! The
steroid fleas have not started yet- give em a couple more weeks.

Marshall, are you saying the sulphur prevents ticks? I've used a garlic
spray and it wasn't real effective. Do you have a brand name that is ok
for dogs to walk on? Thanks, Jess

How does the sulfur granules effect the soil PH? I have used Sulfur in
the garden to raise the PH. We don't have a tick problem but fleas feast
in our area.
