I'm looking for goat answers specifically but we have so many ticks here that I'm interested in any answers.
Our property is mostly wooded and I've decided to run a couple of nannies through there with movable fencing. (They normally live in a large paddock that our chickens and guinea fowls access and I've never found ticks on them before).
They're clearing the woods very well and I'm excited about it. But they both have several ticks on them already. I'm not surprised. There's enough of them that I'm thinking I should look at my options.
I'd prefer something that kills rather than repels. I mean, does anyone use Frontline or revolution on their goats?
Essential oils?
I know permethrin kills little bugs but constantly having to reapply it doesn't really make it feasible.
