I believe Stronghold kills the tick. Then it drops off.Still worth taking it off if you see it

+1 I use frontline as well as the O'Tom on my dogs.

I use frontline on my dogs, but in areas where there is a lot of ticks it could be worth trying advantix. As the frontline I got has no effect on the ticks in the forestry the ticks are not just bad on the dogs this year, i've never seen them so bad!!

Stronghold doesn't kill ticks! Great for fleas, ear mites, mange, heartworm but not ticks!

A Scalibor collar is best value protection against ticks (one lasts 6 months).
 
+1 on Frontline and a Trix Tick Lasso (yes, I know it sounds soppy but it does work really well).
