Tick prevention for new puppies?

I have a litter on the ground right now that is almost 6 weeks old. I have been letting them out to play in the yard while I am feeding and cleaning kennels in the evenings. I found a tick on one of them yesterday. What is safe for puppies younger than 8 weeks?

I have Nexgard ready for them which is safe at 8 weeks but they will cover a lot of "yard" between now and then. Just want to keep them safe. They are BIG pups. At 5 weeks old they all weighed right at 10 lbs. I would guess they are all around 11.5 lbs now since weaning this past week.

I always just use a cheap topical like hartz. It seems to work pretty well for no more then mine get exposed to at that age.

Frontline Spray would be a safe product for pups of this age. Frontline works well for tick prevention.
