I got a box of the purple python cattle ear tags and cut them into 3 strips and zip tie them to the collars. Last year was my first time using them. They last a few months, didn't seem to effect the fleas but didn't have as many flies or any ticks.

Cattle fly tags

You can tie them to your boot laces to keep the chiggers ( red bugs) off of you also. But when there fresh the smell will run you out of your truck cab.

That's interesting haven't heard that. I haven't noticed much smell but haven't been that close to them or in a closed in area either.

Iused them on my dog collars, but give lyme shots too. LI use the whole tag and change them at least every 3 mo. There is a thread on here somewhere I'll try to find it. I had a couple of mules that had lots of ticks under their jaw and I put one on their halters and in a couple of days ticks had all died and fell off.

If you need something Gentle for pups or dogs for mosquitoes, fleas & knats, this might even help with ticks. Use a Pint or Quart Spray Bottle & fill almost full of water. Add 2 or 3 Caps Full of "Skin So Soft Orginal Scent Bath OIL". I spray inside the Dog House, on Kate & her pups every morning & evening for Knats & mosquitoes, etc. Smells Good Too.

homemade "advantix"

Permethrin 10 livestock spray, tractor supply and others carry it. Diluted in sprayer will provide all you need for a long long time. good to spray chaps before hunting as well. Very cost effective. Primary ingredient in commercial treatments, check the ingredients ..

The frontline for fleas and ticks works for my dogs. For myself. Drink you a shot of apple cyder vinegar EVERY night till first frost. It'll keep em off pretty much. No chiggers much either. I hear garlic pills work to. We are eat up with ticks already this yr. Believe it or not. I think ivomec helps keep off the dogs to.

I use Frontline on dogs religiously, also PreventTic collar, most vets have them. about $12-15 each, I guarantee you will not have any ticks. There are too many tick bourne diseases out there to take a chance. You can never cure a dog of a tick bourne ailment. Tom

Advantix II works very well. It is pricey but its the best outside of an Amitraz collar, which I won't use.

Vectra 3D is very similar to Advantix but Advantix is easier to find.

Advantix also works on fleas, flies, mosquitos, etc.

All I can find is the orange tags. Does any body know where you can by the purple tags? Does the orange tags work?

Tractor supply company carries the purple tags. They're called purple python.
