We are currently using frontline on our Shiba, but our yard backs up to a field and I pulled a tick off my leg yesterday after retrieving her ball from over the fence (in the field). She always plays right by the fence as well where there is tall grass and bushes. Is there any safe, good way to get rid of ticks so that they dont come near my yard? I know she is protected, but I dont want her bringing ticks into the house so they dont get on us!

I use Maxide Professional Lawn Insect Killer - it kills Ants, Fleas, Ticks, Grubs and a few others.
