Re: Ticks in horses ears (and elsewhere)

["C Eyler" <eyler@mindspring.com>]

My gelding is a tick magnet, and he's already been treated once for Lyme
Disease.

This season he's been getting powdered garlic (from Springtime) twice a day,
mixed with wet, shredded beet pulp (he used to sift it out of his
sweetfeed).  As before, I make sure to drench the tip of his tailbone when I
spray him with TriTech.

He's had far fewer tick bites than last year, but he still gets a bite
occasionally -- usually in the groin area.  Could Front Line be applied to
areas other than his mane and tail?
