Most farm stores carry them. Look in the cattle section. Most farmerswill put one in each ear of a beef cow, at least around here they do.

I use Spot-on or an equivalent to keep the ticks off. It also kills any mosquitos and flies that land on the dog.

I put absorbing JR on my chaps down around the ankles and dob a few times around the back of my neck, hat band and couple spots on my arms. Seems to keep everything away and off of me. Works good for about 2 hours. Works real good to keep those biting nats off too.
Yes it stinks pretty bad, but you get use to it.

Add a half dozen pieces of garlic to a gallon milk jug of water, I either cut mine into or squeeze them with pliers. Soak the mixture into the dogs back and rub it in before you turn him loose. You can add water each day and the garlic smell will last a week or better, keeps the mosquitoes off the dog, but not good for ticks. Use Prevent Tick collars on dogs. Tom
