My local farm and ranch store stopped carrying the original bayer stuff. This is as close as what i could find that indicates that it rids of fleas and ticks. It says to treat every 30 days instead of every year like the other said. Is it safe to use?

Do you all have Sevin Dust out there? That is what we used to use and I also buy Paramite Cattle/Swine rub then dilute it down one tbsp per gallon, pour it on and rub it in I think it has a 6 month residual.

We do, it comes in a gallon but it says in the fine print in all caps NOT FOR USE ON ANIMALS. It's also in liquid form. I don't mind doing it every month, would rather do it that way, same time I worm, I am just wondering if this is ok.

I would not use that product.  The Bayer Advanced Tree and Shrub contains only Imidacloprid (1.47%) as the active ingredient which is the same as whats in Advantage and K-9 Advantix (9.1%).  The product you've posted the picture of also contains an insecticide B-Cyfluthrin.

i would use it around the kennels mixed with a good IGR [ insect groeth regulator ] like martins brand . then just spray or dip the dogs in permethin . thats my regemin and i have no problems

thanks bryant, i am wantin something quick and easy. something you just put a line down the back once a month.

Hunt around and find the "Bayer Advanced Tree and Shrub".  Active ingredient on the front of the bottle will say "Imidacloprid - 1.47%"
Use 4.3 ml per 10 lbs of dogs weight from the base of the neck to the tip of the tail once a month when having flea/tick probs.  You'll be using and dosing the exact same as you would be using Advantage.

youre the man bryant, thanks alot!!

This is what i use and it covers me for almost a year per treatment. 

Not 100% sure but I think thats what i got the last time, didn't bother dogs any and killed ticks as well as fleas.

As long as it ain't the one with the fertilizer in it.

so i can use this? it doesnt have fertilizer in it

Ortho makes a tree and shrub without the fertilizer. I get mine at Home Depot!

thanks yall, I am gonna search for that instead of taking the chance.

i found the bayer tree and shrub but it only says 0.74 imidaclorpid at bottom of bottle ... says tree and shrub, protect and feed. doesnt say it kills mosquitos, ticks, or fleas???

Feed means it contains fertilizers.  Keep searching around...you'll find the right one.

Ok Bryant. Ill keep looking.

do yall spray pens, tie-outs, houses, etc. with that too? & if so, straight or mixed with something?

TSC makes the tree and shrub in an off brand for under ten bucks and it is the 1.47%...

if you use the .74% just double the dosage...

I bought a bottle of permethrin 10 mixed it Luke you would for a horse sprayed my dogs with it and it worked well no fleas and ticks but its only been a week so we will see
