    Default Tick Wash For Dogs.

    We have packs of aboriginal camp dogs roaming the streets unfortunately they socialise with our dogs through the fence and they have infected our dogs with ticks.

    20 + years ago I had my yard sprayed for ticks with something that didn’t harm my fish and frogs, it lasted till recently, unfortunately that company has been bought out by another mob that said their chemical kills fish, frogs lizards etc.

    Is there any thing I can use that is safe for my dogs and wild life?

    I use bipenthin for the control of army worm in my lawn. It is readily available. It lasts a long long time in the ground as it attaches itself to the soil.
    Maybe it might help for ticks, I don't know. I used to use chlorophys but that chemical is not not able to be used for residential application in Qld and for good reason.
    I hope you find a solution. I would also say that culling the animals might also be a consideration due to the risk they cause for harm to people and livestock.

    When I first came here I thought someone should shoot the poor things, They were covered in ticks, full of mange, riddled disease with and starving wasn't long before I change my mind it not the poor dogs fault, some one should shoot the owners.
    Few years ago they had a big cull in Alice springs town camps because starving dogs started to eat drunk aboriginals.
