I had a flea infestation. Couldn't walk anywhere without getting dozens on you. Gave dogs bathes almost every other day. Never could get them under control. Finally went to vet and got some bravecto for the dogs. Hardly ever find a flea or tick now.
Barricade is a herbicide and used as a pre-emergent.
Permethrin is safe for use in a garden. This can be sprayed on your clothing and shoes or boots, let it dry and it is effective for up to 6 laundry cycles. It’s also safe for dogs. However, don’t spray it on cats.

My bad. I always had trouble remembering the name of what I was thinking of which was Tempo. I think? Some stuff the exterminators used to swear by and ran about $80 quart.
It was a liquid and that stuff I recommended was explained to me to be very close to it. The guy at TSC told me he used it every year on his whole yard, he liked it so much. I bought a quart and it killed all the crawlies and seemed to last for a few months.
Rawhide: How are the granules around pets/dogs? Any precautions to be aware of?
Having chickens also helps immensely. We always had ticks in the yard when I was younger, but after we got chickens, the ticks disappeared. Atleast stepping in chicken doodoo is better than getting that meat allergy disease from a tick.
Possums and turkey are great tick eaters. We have both in the yard daily.
When we had dogs, the drops on the neck were applied that I don't remember the name of kept them off the dogs but not humans.
IMHO the granules suck for us because our lawn is over 3 acres. It would cost a fortune to put them down and there is no way to water them in without rain which is in short supply lately, so we use a liquid in the 100 gallon three point spray rig.

Agree on the dog internal meds or drops on the back of the neck. But be aware that some pets have reactions. The drops are pricey, but worth it. A visit to the vet, also pricey, might be a good idea.
I honestly don't recall what the label says about dogs. I haven't had any issues. I should read the label again and recommend others read it before applying.
