Nice Up!
I dont have experience with this medication, but I know Capstar that is also oral, by capstar is pretty efective, but the main problem is that it only kills after the parasict bite the animal, in a place where have babesiosis and others tick's illness its a huge problem because will not avoid the contamination.
Then in 2007 summer appear the advantage max 3, who dont let ticks touch the animal as protect also agains skiters and fleas, very nice but expensive.

I also like to use natural products for avoid insects , the citronel oil ( oil from Cymbopogon winterianus) and Neem oil ( Azadirachta indica) I pass in the place the dogs live () and also in the dogs ( sometimes in the owners as well) is pretty effective as repellent.
