I got turned on to a product called CAPSTAR a few years ago. It is a pill, given orally and I was sold on it when I watched dead fleas dropping in mass off of a dog a half hour after administration. I would not have believed it had it not been for the white tile floor!
The box doesn't say it is effective against tics but a vet tech told me it works and I always give my mutts a dose every month and again before a hike and I've not had fleas or tics. (Florida, no less!)
I think it is made By Novartis (sp?) and no prescription is required.
