I am so nervous about chemicals and insecticides but I'm even more concerned with all the ticks in our yard. What do you put on your dog that you feel safe exposing your children to? We have a 5lb Yorkie who is always on our couches (regardless of what we tell him Chat Icon ) and my kids play with constantly.

I really need to research this but I'm wondering if anyone here has any good suggestions. I'm even considering having the yard organically sprayed but I'm not sure if that would work (we're in a really wooded area and our property is an acre).
