My wife works in the veterinary supply industry, and provides several
different products for pets to get insects, including ticks, off of
the animal. One of the downsides is that these do not work
instantaneously... that is, the tick gets on a pet, it comes into
your house, and the tick then decides it has chosen the wrong animal
and gets off, only to look for another host in the house. Using one
of these products, even 'effectively,' does not mean your pet can't
bring ticks into the home.
