Just an update for those who may have been interested. I put the Seresto collar on the dog near April 1 after a couple of weeks of finding many live ticks on him in the house daily for over two weeks. The next full day I had Grayson out on our property in the brush looking for woodcock but did not find any. When we got back in the house I did find two ticks on him which were removed and properly dealt with.
Since then we've not seen another tick. I have him out regularly in the same areas where he was picking up lots of them and now none. I can't think of anything else that may have changed other than his collar and I can't believe that the ticks are suddenly gone for some reason. And, I've found ticks on myself, but none on the dog.
Grayson's behavior or demeanor has not changed at all and no family member has had any sort of troubling reaction...so far, so good.
